Orthodox Christians should write and paint and sing and dance. We should make
movies and television shows. We should make clothes and produce textiles as art
as well (the fullness of culture is itself too large to describe in a sentence,
a paragraph or even a book). And in all these activities, they will be
expressive of the fullness of our humanity without having to stick an icon on
everything to prove its Orthodoxy.
-- Father Stephen in Glory to God for All Things

The story was stalled, requiring research— it ends with a fight in a church, and I even know which church: the church of the Beheading of St.John the Baptist in the Zuidbuurt in Zoeterwoude. It burnt down in 1964, perfect for the story: I can cause that.
Anyway, I wanted a day off before starting the new job on Tuesday.
