So, we’ve done our pilot of the ‘visual bible reading’ – VISIBLE, using an extract from the beginning of Luke’s gospel. It was hard work, but we had so much fun. There was Ian H, Ian R, Jamie, Ed and me – four extremely handsome men, all locked in a room together for a couple of days, on a diet of red bull and pringles – trying to convey visually the wonder of the narrative where we meet Jesus, God incarnate as a tiny baby wrapped in baby clothes, hanging out with shepherds and causing awe in the sight of the prophets. Here’s a couple of stills to whet your appetite a little. We’re meeting this month to review the pilot, and decide on a way forward to create what could be an awesome resource for churches and a viral catalyst for the word of God. Let me know what you think.

I sneaked a pic on my phone – this is how the angel looked
