Liz is worried about her 13 year old cousin Amala, who's from a Hindu family, who wants to become a Christian - but her parents won't let her.
 
Amala has been invited to church and her parents don't mind her attending most weeks. But when she asked her parents for a Bible, they wouldn't give her one. Amala bought one herself, but her parents ripped it up and threw it in the bin.

Amala’s parents say she can change her religion when she's 16.
 
What should Amala do?

DISCUSSION POINTS:

• It’s a dilemma because we’re talking about the spiritual decision of a 13 year old. Is 13 too young to make a decision to convert to a religion different from your parents?

• It’s a dilemma because there’s the issue of Amala respecting her parents – being under their roof and care.
