The Table
Literature, chips, the meeting list and the book: the pieces laid out at the back of the room.
The readings that open the hour
The five short texts a newcomer hears in the first ten minutes, annotated.
The Big Book and the two sets of twelve
The table's heaviest piece: the book, the steps and the traditions in one place.
The meeting list
The table's most important piece: what the card is and how to read it.
