"Raymond has never fully embraced adulthood."

Father George Potter (see feature in our September 1999 issue) was the superior of an Anglican Franciscan brotherhood which cared for difficult adolescents in East London in the 1920's. A fellow priest wrote this of him:

A superior stood at the Golden Gate;
His head was bent so low:
He meekly asked the man of fate
Which way he must go.

"What have you done," St. Peter said,
"That you seek admission here?"
"I ran a Delinquent's Home on earth
For many and many a year."

St. Peter opened wide the gate,
And gently pressed the bell.
"Come in," he said, "and choose your harp,
You've had your share of hell."
