"I visited the Inflame exhibition organised by the group Love Streatham on Saturday and was really impressed by the time and thought that had gone into the selection and layout of the artwork, which was by local school children and residents, as well as some artists from further afield. The Run with the Fire digital exhibition formed part of the display. It was great to see it in action."
“The vision statement by Whojeong Lee was a wonderful gift to me, talking as it did about exploring the nature of the Holy Spirit through colour and texture. The picture takes three elements: fire, air and water to show different aspects of the Holy Spirit. He is the fire of Pentecost, the breath of life in Genesis and the Living Waters. As I thought about the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives, I realised that we "run" most successfully when the Holy Spirit can be seen through us. The less that people's attention is drawn to us (our faults and failings) the more they see God working through us.”
