19 September 1993 — This morning at St. John’s, New Haven, the children’s lesson was from Acts 2: 42 (“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to the prayers.”) The teacher, Kathy Rodgers, asked, “What do Christians devote themselves to?” Gabriel raised his hand.

“THE FOLLOWSHIP! [sic]” he came back, glossing the answer and — just so — getting it better than just right.
