A walk through the woods and a small girl’s sudden, unprompted declaration: Daddy, you are the best dad in the world. That scene opens a reflection on the first of the seven letters in Revelation, the letter to the church in Ephesus, a community with endurance, moral clarity and a nose for false teachers, which nevertheless heard: you have abandoned the love you had at first (Revelation 2).
