Two gather for the 5:15 PM Sunday service at St. Luke's Episcopal Cathedral, Portland, ME, and one of them was the priest

A female priest, and the male reporter, who was feeling "adrift".

From his story here:

The wide, empty nave was dark except for the light coming in through the stained-glass windows. My footsteps had never sounded louder as I walked toward the little octagonal chapel at the back, where the Rev. Anne Fowler sat alone by the altar.

“Oh,” she said. “I guess it’ll just be us tonight.”

I was the only one who’d shown up for the 5:15 service.

Too bad Eleanor Rigby wasn't there.
