I’ve been playing with MacOSaix, a program i discovered through Jonny, and created a picture of a house, made up of images of refugees [note to self: after this weekend, work out how to link to external sites in wordpress…].
I’ll get it printed onto A0 size paper, stick it on the wall on Saturday night, and we’ll invite people to create a ‘frame’ around it with their prayers for those who have no home.
The UNHCR estimates there are currently 19 million refugees in the world… an amount almost equivalent to the population of Australia… i sorted through hundreds of images of refugees last night, in order to sift out those that are too graphic to use in this context, and found myself wanting to ditch the entire worship, and just have a lament for the world being as it is… everything else just feels indulgent in the light of this reality.
