In the football movie, Remember the Titans, racial tension fuels a whole lot of controversy in a newly integrated football team. The white head coach is replaced by a black man; white and black boys are expected to play together as a team. As the team travels toward football camp, most of the boys are mutinous. But there's one white player, Louie, who barrels right through racial roadblocks. Before you know it, he's singing spirituals with his black teammates and having a ball. Picture Louie as Saint Peter. All the Christians are on the same bus to salvation, but they're riddled with division. The Jewish Christians think they should be on the only ones in line for salvation. Surprise! God embraces Gentiles, too. Peter decides this is no problem -- only an opportunity to share God's love with more of his brothers and sisters; maybe even, like Louie, through singing hymns at the top of his lungs.
