Chores

Who to allow in?

Rachael raises the question of whether they would allow more people to join their little paradise. What do they do if someone floated in on some driftwood hoping for salvation? A profound level of sympathy would be shown towards those that arrive having left a place that was home for a long time but has become uninhabitable now.

The four see little controversy in pointing out that anyone who were to join would surely need to adopt their leadership and abide by all the rules in place. Claudia has been horrified when people joined their church expecting long standing members to change their ways to suit ideas these new characters have. These new people didn’t just make suggestions and see how they went down, instead they infiltrated the organisation and bit by bit transformed it into something very different to how it was before. Ben was involved in a political movement and also recognised a similar pattern take shape, despairing at the way things crept up and went against the grain of the foundational principles that attracted so many to it in the first place.
