The other day I was teaching at Antioch and I told the story of a friend of mine who checked into a hotel that was having a Pink Flamingo Conference.
It was a whole conference around fanatics and collectors of Pink Flamingos.
Who would have thought that there was a whole sub-culture built around that??
The point I was trying to make was that sometimes Christians become an isolated and irrelevant sub-culture like that of the Pink Flamingos. We get our own radio stations, book stores, ways of talking and everything else that isolates us from others. We’re tickled pink, but we don’t intersect with culture in any meaningful way.
Well, someone caught the analogy enough to pick me up these lovely Pink Flamingo glasses.
What a trophy :)
