Where is Freedom?

This video shows some of the depth of need that our children have, in fact that all of us have. A need to be free, to explore, to have spaces no matter what our limitations that offer us places to be and to become. Our moments of outside often are limited between building and vehicle, office or school to bus or car, shop or church. But the greatest cathedral ever built with the most breath-taking architecture is that one all around us, the great outdoors. It is unbelievable that we see the need for prisoners to have space outside but don't insist the same for ourselves and children. How can we change this, how can we encourage the connection with all the outside freedom and learning if we don't go there?

Muddy Church isn't about a set program, do this or that. It's a place for groups, individuals, churches, communities to stop and look around them, to explore around them and to look where God might be. It doesn't take huge planning or any expense it it about each of us realising we need to feel the fulness of life that certainly extends walls and doors. Why not try it for yourself today, step outside for five minutes - feel the wind, get wet in the rain, listen and ask yourself - where is God right now?

This is in no way a promotion of Unilever but fascinating and deeply saddening.
