MARCH 1991 29 with easter approaching, the church mounted a huge recruiting campaign to fill up some of the empty desks in the Sunday school, "go forth," the reverend said, "and invite your friends, tell them what we do here and don't forget to mention the free cadbury cream eggs that i'll be giving out next Sunday." so my older sister went forth into the community and returned the following week with me. i was, she explained to the assembly, a Scottish agnostic of decidedly secular background who wished to become a german baptist, they put me in a classroom, the teacher gave me a good news bible companion, and told me to work through the book as best i could, the bible companion was like an exercise book; it was full of puzzles and games designed to foment your knowledge of the scriptures, of course, if you'd never read a bible before, there wasn't much it could do for you. i found thisoutafter staring at thefirst page forten minutes, trying to come up with a six-letter-word for "canaan god." theother students, meanwhile, were scurrying through their assignments like so many learned monks, no way was i going to put a dent in that crossword-puzzle, i flipped through the book until i found something familiar: a picture of moses. here was someone i recognized, every easter, his movie was on tv. and every easter, throughout my childhood, i watched this man float down the nile in a picnic basket, and i watched him grow up. and i watched him emerge as a leader of the children of israel. and usually, at about the second or third plague, i stopped watching, because it was bedtime, but still, i recognized him. moses was overlooking the red sea. but i couldn't tell from the colourful illustration whether he was parting the water for his people or slamming it shut on the hapless chariot guys, the book wanted me to write a brief caption describing the scene, i wrote the first thing that popped into my head, i wrote: surf's up.
