I visualize a hokey picture:

a steep, tree-covered hill whose vertical dimension illustrates the indiv/congregation/ community continuum, at the top of which is a short light house shining on a nearby urban cluster (with “red” and “green” towers).

I said it was hokey!

Hokey, but I understand. I also thought about lighthouse imagery but it seemed too much of a mixed metaphor!
