Acts 11 - Is that the Dalai Lama I see coming from the roof?
The Dalai Lama is going to be in Canberra soon. We received an email suggesting we might be interested in going, and I passed that on to a range of people. One of them emailed back saying that I needed to be truer to the Word of God - that the Dalai Lama "may be a good man but he stands for everything that my Christian faith says is unacceptable".
This very real story seems to be a living expression of the Acts passage for May 6 - the sheet of food dropping from the roof that Peter sees in his vision.

I think we've been sidetracked around Easter. I reckon that Mel Gibson's movie was an exaggerated form, but just made the sidetracking clear. I wonder if we can celebrate Easter without indulging in voyeuristic violence.
