Back-of-the-church congregation praised as humble voters
A humorous essay defends back row worshippers calling them a misunderstood group. It paints them as humble, faithful, patient, and supportive, noting their long sightlines to imagine reverence, protect the service, usher out stray dogs, and handle late arrivals without judgment. It ends by suggesting God sits with them most of the time.
