Come To My Lectures
"Come to my lectures," Rev. Pentecost said as if Rama had nothing better to do. She's annoyed with this man's assumptions that he knows better than she. Rama is also irritated with Sundrabai for persuading her to meet this man, and with herself for consenting to do so. Rama is already a Christian. What can this man tell her she doesn't know already? And why should she listen? But within herself, Rama knows she wants a greater spiritual life than she has. What if this man can show her the way forward?
Book Excerpt
Rama's Labyrinth: A Biographical Novel (Women of Determination and Courage)
“Come to my lectures. You will see your error.”
Rama drew back. The man was like a wave of energy, his low voice pounding into her head. “I don’t attend lectures. They are a poor use of my time, because I’m hard of hearing, even with an ear trumpet.”
Reverend Pentecost laughed. “Come anyway. I’ll be sure you have a seat at the front where you can hear every word. Unless you prefer to remain as you are?”
Reverend Pentecost lectured every evening for three weeks. Not one to back down from a challenge, Rama sat in the front row listening to every word. Walking home after the last lecture Rama had a breakthrough.
