‘Yeah! I saw this really long piano. I mean reeeaally long,’
said a new brother, stretching his arms out wide. ‘There were
lots of people all sat down and playing together nicely like —
all in ’armony.’
‘Er... the many gifts and ministries’ thought Victor.
‘Well! I’ve got some liquorice allsorts here,’ said another
brother, jumping up and producing a paper bag. ‘This one’s

are no wrappers on these!’ He grinned and popped a coconut
sweet into his mouth. ‘I’ll tell you what the Lord is doing with
us — he’s taking our wrappers off. Yes! Taking them off! And
mixing us all up.’
