...skin deep...prejudices....who me?

The Evangelical Alliance's, Friday Night Theology blog seizes on the extraordinary response that Susan Boyle has received in response to her appearance on 'Britain's Got Talent'.

Did you see it? Were you like most of us amazed at the talent "hidden" inside this rather dowdy looking very ordinary woman? If you were, wasn't it great to hear that talent emerge? How did it make you feel?

Let's learn an important lesson from this, let's stop judging people by what we see at first glance, and let's take the time to find the extraordinary hidden in each one of us. It's too easy to be carried along with the cult of superficiality in our consumer driven celebrity culture. Wouldn't it be great if Susan's success was the pin that pops this tacky bubble once and for all?
