I enjoyed a chat and coffee yesterday afternoon with Ae and Be. It was mostly the usual general gossip and discussion about health matters.
Then the conversation somehow turned to church going (not an activity I engage in) and Ae told us of the time she wandered into her local Catholic establishment and interrupted the service with an announcement inviting the congregation to assist a homeless man in need. No one offered assistance; not even any of the clergy present.
The look on Be's face as Ae related the incident was classic. He was aghast that Ae would interrupt a church service. On the other hand I was surprised that the church-going Be wasn't aghast that no assistance was offered.
