You Creative ones

I'm involved in SPEAK, a Christian prayer and campaign network inspired by something in Isaiah (Im writing this in bed in the dark, so I'm afraid im not gonna get out my bible and find it): Speak up for those who cannot speak up for themselves, defend the voiceless, upfold the needy..and so the verses go.

If you haven't guessed it's an outworking of the Christian faith fighting for social justice, and (less obviously) exploring Christianity, creativity, social justice and mission and the relationship between.

It is currently fighting for changes to EU laws (as the next step in a continuing struggle), that companies would be made to fairly consider the effects of their productive actions on people and the environment, and remain accountable through reporting.

The Big Dress campaign is one of the manifestations of this struggle, and it;s hitting Sheffield, from the 8th to the 12th of May. It's an exciting time because we feel this festival is far bigger than anything we can make it. God has plans, people completely unrelated to this thing have been having dreams about a marquee (the big dress) in Endcliffe park in Sheffield. I feel it's going to have a great impact if we let God move.

Anyway, if you have time and desire to, you can get involved - more details here.

WORTH, im sure you can think of stuff yourself, but a couple starting points
our own worth to God...how does that fit with our own self image
Everyone's worth to God, justice and equality
We are fearfully and wonderfully made.

Im not posting this because we need more people to do stuff. More is always welcome, but not essential. Just in case you're interested!
