In a dramatic statement, overturning thousands of years of Jewish tradition, Peter has declared that there is no such thing as clean or unclean in the sight of God.
God told me in a vision that there is no clean or unclean, just people who need something to believe in," he said.
His statement challenges the laws forbidding Jews to mix with other races, not to mention the strict Jewish dietary laws which forbid the eating of food such as pork, hare, ostrich and "Big Abdul's Triple-Strength Chipolata in Batter" from the stall outside the camel station.
Peter now expects to take the message to Gentile as well as Jew. "No one is now beyond God's love," he said. "Not even Big Abdul."

They're Called Christians!

They've been called "followers of Jesus", "followers of the way", and "blood-sucking heretics who should be disembowelled" (although Saul has since retracted the last one).
But in Antioch they are being called "Christians".
"It's a good strong brand name," said one advertising executive. "But that in itself isn't enough."
"What they really need is a logo. I mean, they use this cross thing but that's terribly depressing. What

about a nice flower? Or even a camel going through the eye of a needle."
Mascot
"You've got to pull the punters in. That's why I've developed a mascot--Damaris the Donkey Disciple. He's a little Christian donkey. I see a lot of marketing possibilities."
A leading "Christian" was sceptical.
"I see a long spell in a special ward," he said. "What really matters is the lifestyle, not the packaging."
