Long, wooden pews are positioned one in front of the other from the front of the room to the back. There are ornate stained glass windows on each side depicting the steps in the Crucifixion story. A long, red runner goes up the middle of the room to the altar.

lector
I am a lector. I read the lessons at the church service. I enjoy reading. I have many books. I have poor eyesight.  I dress humbly.
Oh Sister I didn;t see you there! Forgive me, you startled me. I've come to pray. Are none of my sisters here today? None that I have seen. I have just been here reading and contemplating on the parables. Doesn't this time of day make the glass shine so? They are beautiful. Do you know how to knit? I never learnt, could you teach me? I'm afraid these fingers were made for page turning and note scribbling. My brother took over the family weaving business but the textilers skills passed me by somewhat. Ah that is a shame Lector. Where is your brother now? He's probably gone into the city to meet important people, make new deals and cover my family's name in further glory. It was always my destiny to live in his shadow and so I turned to the church and God for parental guidance. And you Sister, where are your family now? The black and white church is my only family. I have given myself to God. Praise be to him. Our heavenly family is eternal. Sister, when I give the lessons on the sabbath I sometimes struggle to see those at the back of the church. Could you do me a favour and note those that leave first aver the service? I thought I saw my uncle slide in after the first songs recently but by the time my lessons are completed I never seem to catch him before I am swarmed by the rest of the congregation. Of course Lector , always happy to help . I can sit  on the back pew during your semons Thank you, I haven't seen him for many years. He had a falling out with my mother because he didn't agree with my father marrying her. I don;t know why he would choose to appear after all this time, or why he would be avoiding me. I'd rather my family left me alone to read and further my knowledge than draw me into their bickering and games. If you wish to be left alone Lector, it maybe better to pretend you haven't seen him in your service?
