It's Monday morning and time for an easy to start to the week. Check out a lovely bit of media for you viewing pleasure... I love this as an example of what the church should be like.

Let me know what you think...

It's Monday morning and time for an easy to start to the week. Check out a lovely bit of media for you viewing pleasure... I wonder if McDonald's realise how spiritual this ad actually is. I love it.

As I avidly followed the post I was overwhelmed by how much we become self focused in our ministry, when sometimes we need to take a step back and remember that we live a big world and God is alive and well. ViralHope is the compiling of these post into a beautiful book that ...

Pieter Hugo was born in 1976 and grew up in Cape Town, where he continues to live. He underwent a two-year residency in 2002-3 at Fabrica in Treviso, Italy. Let me know what you think it says...

Stories are as old as humankind. Cave paintings going back 25,000 years or more dramatically portray the story of the great Paleolithic hunts undertaken by our earliest ancestors. Glyphs recovered from Mayan pyramids and tombs of the Pharaohs tell a symbolic story of how the view of our place in the cosmos evolved over time. Throughout Celtic Europe, the bards held a place of the highest esteem for their disciplined talent of maintaining and passing on the stories of tribes and clans. The scriptures of our great religions take the form of parable and story, instructing and inspiring us to a higher good. Each of these is an example of ...
