The Revivalist vs. the Buddhist temple

Ron’s house was near Greenwood and Gerrard. The Buddhist temple, with its enormous statue of Vasudhara, was on Gerrard Street West. On warm nights a man with a red-letter Bible would come down from the Revival Centre on Danforth Avenue and try to whip a few more people into the Sunday Night Service. I was always tempted to follow him but never did (says something about me, I'm sure). 

I thought this would make a great setting for a play or short story. 

What's a hungry boy to do?
