“What’s the secret behind such a laid-back fellowship?” I asked Kristy this morning. “Lingering,” she said, choosing a word I’d never heard her use before. “No one is in a hurry. There’s no pressure to make something happen. People are not burdened by expectations of dress, correctness of opinion, or responsibilities for various programs. They just like being together. They really care about each other. No one is in a hurry to get somewhere else. They just . . . linger.”
