...you and a group of friends drift off from the free concert in the park in the early evening to walk by the river. Each of you carries a white candle and each of you wears a beatific smile.
After a few minutes walk along the riverbank, one of you sees a small circle of lights in the distance. Could it be...? Yes! A circle of people sitting with candles... More of us, it must be! As we approach, yes, we share an unspoken enthusiasm, the excitement mounts, the curiosity, anticipation of joining the circle, investigating...
We reach the circle. Curious faces look up. We smile down. We notice that they are well dressed. White shirts, neckties on the gentlemen. Each with a book open before them. It is then that we realise. They are bible students.
The horror is mutual.
