She also loves Bible stories, for their morbid, operatic horror; in her yard, she stages Passion plays, in which she stars as Jesus, serving Ritz crackers and grape Fanta as the Last Supper and acting out Christ's capture at Gethsemane beneath the tree where Robin was hanged...
Robin hovers over Harriet and her older sister like a saint and weighs on them like an anvil: a stained-glass window in their church, dedicated to him, depicts Jesus talking to "a red-haired boy in a baseball cap who bore an unmistakable resemblance to Robin."

...time, it was clear to both Jonathan and me that they were thoughtful, intelligent and welcoming people. Pentecostal believers reject notions of strict tradition and earthly spiritual authority and rely on direct spiritual revelation from God, who they believe speaks daily through both leaders and laity.
