A Church member came to see me once, in the vestry. She hadn't been to Church, she said, because she had been mocked on her way to Church. I mentioned this in a meeting. The Honorary Secretary said that she, too, had experienced this -- however, someone had interrupted the mocker: "Moenie met haar mors nie! Sy's 'n groot kerkmens! Sy's kwaai!" ("Don't mess with her! She's big in the Church! She's vicious!") It happened to me, too. I generally walked to Church on Sundays, and, among other things, was mocked by people sitting under the awning of a 24-hour restaurant. OBSERVATION: One wouldn't think this would keep people from Church -- nor that there would be open mockery in a liberal society.
