Learned, from a local historian who could point to exactly which wall was pulled down first, that a sermon is sometimes not the end of an argument but the moment an argument stops being one. Keeps a small stone, unremarkable to anyone else, said to be salvaged from the old Blackfriars, on the desk as a reminder that ideas leave physical evidence behind. Still visits St John's Kirk before a hard lecture on conscience, since the building remembers the argument better than any book does.
