There are those few in Church who are delighted to point out who is missing on a Sunday (not in a helpful way). In this regard, my late wife Mirjam had a curious custom. If someone said to her, "There were some people missing from Church today," she would ask, "Who?" Then she would say, "I'll tell you who else has been missing!" and she would name them one by one -- with the missing persons list growing longer and longer. I witnessed "complainants" being stunned into silence. OBSERVATION: She never did explain that to me.
