india talkie 12: many religions one train

Indiantrainwe caught an overnight train from bangalore to kottyam (kerala) which took 14 hours. an indian train in itself is an experience. but the moment that struck me was when i walked most of the length of the train to see the other half of our group. there were groups of nuns, people gathered together reading religious leaflets with a picture of a guru on the front, muslims facing mecca and praying, people sat on the top bunk in a meditation position, groups ringing bells and singing hindu songs. reminded me of paul in athens saying 'i see that you are religious in every way'... managed a few hours kip and arrived bleary eyed in kottayam

    where i come across creative ideas, liturgies, movies, music tracks, service outlines or anything that strikes me, i add them as worship tricks. i started these in april 2002 when i first began blogging and they have built up over the years so that i am now on the third series. this has proved a pretty popular feature of the blog.
