Don’t see people as objects, see....
Issue of how we should look at people.

“Trick question, give unto Cesar...”
Human beings are created in the image of God,
A presence(sp) lamp
Represents that the sacrament is present
Desmond tutu(sp) former archbishop of cape town and leader of the ______ movement
Grew up in the johannasberg slum
Before apartheid
Sorry about Tutu and his fathers huniliation in a store
And his mother passing a priest in a cassock, Boeing before his mother as they passed on the street.
Tutu knew that if that could happen than anything can happen.
That was the moment that changed his life.
Tradition if the lamp is lit we genuflect(sp) to show respect.
Tutu says we should do that to each other out of respect. All of us are presence lamps. Cs Lewis said something similar in that people are carriers of the presence of God.
Do we see the “more than” that is within each person?
