Entertaining Angels


6. “At their beach party, Forster, baiting Dorothy accuses the church of ‘“sucking all the joy right out of life.’”  What kinds of ‘joys’ is Forster talking about?  Does the church offer other ‘joys’ in exchange?

At the beach party, Forster was hoping that Dorothy would stop being involved with the Church because her involvement embarrassed himself and his friends.  The ‘joys’ in which Forster is referring is freedom, atheism, and apathy they previously shared.  However, participating in the Church offers one companionship, tradition, guidance, and support.  Dorothy was searching for all of these aforementioned joys in her life prior to becoming active in the Church.
