To enter the worship space the congregation had to pass through curtains, onto which were projected a traditional celtic prayer - the starting point for the worship. The worship ended with the opportunity to write your own 'celtic-urban' prayer. |
A cross shape is laid out on the floor with a station at each point and one in the middle. The stations include: God - in the middle, revisited each time you're en route to a different station, a chance to re-focus on the Creator; Work - a desk, paper and pen to work out the hours you'd worked that week, the money you'd earned and the outcome of your labour; People - coffee beans could be collected from the God station, then ground and used to make an espresso. Next to the espresso machine was a 'family tree' beginning with you and your cup of coffee - this documented all the people involved in bringing you that cup of coffee. You were invited to add at least five people to the tree; |
The Nature station featured a bowl of water, a pile of sand, plants and grass in pots and a slide image taken in South Africa by one of the HOST team. This station explored our distance from nature and our abuse/ignorance of nature, and provided an opportunity to re-connect with creation. You were invited to collect a candle and light it at the God station, then float it on the water as a prayer. You could also leave a handprint in the sand as recognition of the impact we each leave behind. |
The Media station questioned how we receive and perceive news. Articles torn from newspapers and printed from the internet formed a backdrop to TV news footage - all documenting the same news story. An accompanying sheet questioned the nature of 'truth' in society and offered a ritual before leaving the station. |
