Lion Hunt

Today was the first of a two-day workshop Tom and I are leading on "Biblical Stories in Digital Culture" at the Church of South India United Theological Seminary in Bangalore. Did I mention Bangalore is the high tech center of India (and to some extent of the world). But here, it is known the "The Garden City" of India, and indeed it is lovely with its many trees and large parks. It is the most Western feeling of the cities we have visited.

But as to our workshop, you can see Tom faithfully begins each biblical storytelling workshop in true Boomershine style, with a Lion Hunt. Though I sometimes have to convince him to do it, even when he thinks there won't be time. It always works, even in these highly academic settings.

And did you know the lion is the national animal of India? (I guess I wrote that in a previous blog.) So a Lion Hunt is most appropriate here.
