The former pastor of the
Riverside Church in New York City was fond of telling the story of an elderly woman parishioner who had acquired an immense dislike for him. Worse yet, she spent a good deal of her time conveying these intense feelings to others in the parish. The pastor knew this, and he dreaded the day when his parish calls inevitably would lead to her door... Finally that day came, and he paced back and forth in front of her building, trying to work up the courage to go in. Hoping she would not be home so that he could just leave his card, he climbed the stairs and knocked on her door. No answer. Again he knocked, no answer. He knocked a third time and heard a faint sound inside, but no one came to the door. Then he knelt down and looked through the keyhole to see if anything was wrong. "Maybe the poor woman has had a seizure of some kind and needs help," he said to himself. But, as he stared through the keyhole, to his surprise he saw an eye staring back. And then he heard the woman say, with a chuckle, "This is the first time we have seen eye-to-eye." "Yes!" he replied, "and we had to get down on our knees to do it."
