  • Xtul, (pronounced "shtool"), is a small village in the state of Yucatan, Mexico. It is on the north Gulf of Mexico coast, near Sisal. It was a minor seaport for the henequin industry in the 19th century, but fell out of use with the development of more modern facilities at Progreso. The village also harvests salt from the tidal pools in the area; the salt trade in this area goes back to Pre-Columbian times. Xtul is noted as the location where some 30 members of The Process Church of The Final Judgment went in 1963. While there they were hit by a hurricane that lasted for 3 days. It was during this time that the basic theology of The Process Church was formed, and later written as "The Xtul Dialogues".
  • Xtul (se prononce « chtoul ») est un petit village de l'état du Yucatan, au Mexique. Il se trouve sur la côte Nord du Golfe du Mexique, près de Sisal. C'était un port maritime mineur pour l'industrie du sisal au XIX siècle mais il déclina avec le développement d'installations plus modernes à Progreso. Xtul récolte aussi du sel grâce à un système utilisant les marées; le commerce du sel dans cette région remonte aux temps précolombiens. Xtul est aussi le lieu où se rendirent en 1963 environ 30 membres de la Process Church of the Final Judgment. Ils y subirent les violences d'un cyclone durant trois jours. Leurs tribulations durant ce temps digne d'une apocalypse biblique leur permirent de tester leur foi et sont la base de la théologie de la Process Church et de leurs écrits The Xtul Dialogues.
