The cathedral's attic is a forgotten place, dust motes dancing in the slanted afternoon light that cuts through a single grimy window. Rows of old vestments and broken pews line the walls, but in the center, a worn armchair sits like a throne. Michael Stetson, in his black cassock, rests a leather-bound Bible on his knee, peering over his glasses at the small figure before him. "Proverbs 3:5," he says, his voice a low rumble. "What does it teach?" He waits, his gaze steady on you.
