Greenbelt 2

OK I know this Christian arts festival is spiritual rather than Christian and liberal rather than conservative but I'm sure getting a lot out of it.



I have heard some really good talks on writing, literature and philosophy. Today I met a group I would like to know more about. Veritasse aims to promote Christianity in and through the fine arts. Just like me.



Finding Veritasse was one of those God-moments. I stumbled upon their tent as I made my way round an area of Greenbelt I hadn't been in before.

What a revelation it was to see modern art depicting the Christian faith and to meet the founder, Adrian Meller. He and I understood each other straight away. It felt like home.

Greenbelt

I motored down here to the Cheltenham Race Course yesterday. I am now on my second day at the Greenbelt Arts Festival. The theme is Heaven in Ordinary.



I'm staying with my Dad in Painswick and coming down here for the afternoon and evening. Most of my time is spent wandering around or listening to talks.



So far I have heard Andrew Tate talk about Heaven in Modern Literature.

Rachel Jones led a short story workshop to which I contributed this micro-fiction:-





The Final Step



"Watch your step." he said.

"These Dales are beautiful" she thought, "But they're also treachorous"

"What do you mean?" she said.

And he was gone.

She stood alone.

Again.



Rachel Jones said it was concise and economic.



I know I'm meant to be here and God is speaking to me. Pray that I will hear Him clearly.
