3 /5 Joseph Wiliams: Interesting encounter.
I was driving around Richmond today (never been there) and there was a small area of shops. Most of them were closed, but I noticed this church. I was looking through the door, but it was a back entrance - nothing to see except stairs. When I turned around, a man with a baseball cap asked me what I was looking for. I explained I was in the area and saw a cafe but it was closed and saw the church, something I had heard about. He asked again what I was looking for as though sizing me up, and I repeated what I said. Mind you, I had NO IDEA who this guy in the ball cap was and why he was questioning me. I finally asked if he attended this church and he said he was the Rector. I asked he knew a parishioner there (a friend told me her brother went/goes there) and he didn’t know the person I was talking about. He told me their service times and invited me to come to a service.
If I were the Rector, I would’ve introduced myself and then asked if I could do something. It was a weird encounter.
