Musical piece [with reference to Bob Dylan]

foundation 'babel' - anointing from steve collins on Vimeo.

As people are anointed with oil, they discard their masks and take a copy of the Lord's Prayer, each in a different language. The congregation will then read these out simultaneously, illustrating the confusion of languages and its overcoming in God.

At the end we took away key-rings made from small jenga blocks marked with the slogan 'to confuse is to liberate'
