If he was a Christ follower, he wasn’t following too well that day. I think it would not have been very entertaining otherwise. See, when you follow Christ, you don’t attract much attention. You don’t raise a ruckus with the folks in the pharmacy, you are polite to your waiter/salesperson/receptionist/cashier…even when they are surly or make a mistake. You honor everyone from the clerk to the queen…from the peasant to the president the same…because you are different. [...] [...] I’m not sure about his religion.

Enjoyed your writing on article on Christianity: A counter-culture. I do believe we who profess the name of Jesus should "say so" and should live in such a way that people won't have to ask if we are Christians. Dwight,

You are an insightful and penetrating writer with quality of thought. I look forward to enjoying your shared perspectives. Will there be some source of what is happening in the school in Sydney? Know of my treasured friendship and fraternity, Truman Scott Dwight:

When the issues got a little awkward she suggested it was inappropriate for me to talk with someone about Jesus and church while they were having a cup of coffee! I responded with the thought: "Would the coffee thing worry her if she realized Jesus could return to wrap up this world at any moment?" The apostle Paul urged evangelist Timothy to preach the word whether they want to listen or not!! I think we worry more about offending people than carrying out our urgent mission of taking the gospel to the whole world! That's counter cultural!! David.

The program is run by Intervarsity. This all came about when two parents complained that what the Bible taught was going against what they had always believed as "christians". Teaching only what comes from God separates light from darkness, always!
