Here’s a puzzler for you, thoughts welcome…
As part of our children’s work at NSCC we run a Kids Club and every week we visit local families, most of whom aren’t Christians. My wife is expecting the imminent arrival of child no1. At one of the homes where the family like my wife alot, the father was home and was slightly worse for wear having been on the beer. This put him in a generous frame of mind and he decided to give me a gift for my wife and about to be born child. Very kind.
The present was a pirate copy of the film (just out in the UK), Kung-fu Panda. We want to see the film. So given that pirate copies are bad what should I have done?
a) accept the gift but not watch the film – so not really accepting the gift
b) accept the gift and watch the film
c) refuse the gift and risk alienating a friend who won’t understand why we’ve refused
d) Any other ideas?
Ho-hum.
