One teaching gig down, one to go

 

The Work Of The People was invited to teach a seminar here at NWLC. So this morning I presented "Towards a Theology of Visual Media." Good to talk about stuff we've been chewing on for so long.

Also heard a great story from one of the attendees about the Kingdom breaking through. Alan teaches at a middle school. He sent one of his students out to take sport images and she got bored and brought back all kinds of beautiful images of the landscape around her. She ended up making an amazing video that catalyzed her classmates to embark on a spontaneous garbage clean up in their neighbourhood. She didn't set out to change her world, she was just telling her story. You can find her story and the video here. Visual media in the hands of kids is an awesome thing.
