Occasional ramblings from a rambling journalist

Indonesia’s Hindu Island

I arrived a short time ago in Bali, a picturesque island in the Indonesian archipelago, where, in a predominantly Muslim country, 93% here practice Hinduism.  Driving from the airport in Den Pasar, we came across many statues, like this one, demonstrating that Balinese Hinduism is deeply interwoven with art and ritual.  Our driver however is a Hindu follower of Christ, and he told his story of how, about ten years ago he was deeply attracted by the person of Jesus.  He is now very active in helping orphans on the island, saying that there are many others like him.
