I included this picture because when you travel around Bali you will see sights like this the vast majority of the time. This is a rice field and it is farmed by manual labor. Rice is not only their staple but a whole way of life. Their faith has all kinds of connections with rice, water, harvest etc. Rice and tourism is how most people earn a living. I tried to attend a Easter Worship service and contacted a church. Their only service was at 5:30 AM because the building was used for tourism for the rest of the week. It was about ten miles away and no taxis that early. It made me realize what being a minority is like as a Christian.
