- Seeing/Seeing
Differently
- The movie "Philadelphia" is an
interesting example of a person (the attorney played by Denzel
Washington) who starts out with refusal and unseeing then moves
through levels of perception in response to an invitation to see the
one (the AIDS patient, played by Tom Hanks) seeking his help, and
ends up being an instrument of justice as his heart is converted.
Not a bad illustration, really, of how the Spirit works in practical
life. (submitted by Greg Youngchild)
