honesty
Met this morning for our final installment of our values: creativity, change, acceptance, hope and honesty.To catch anyone up, we've began meeting as a core group in the past month, spending each week on the values of the church. The phillsophy has been to establish a practical, life-enhancing ethos built around areas Eikon can offer to seekers.
We had a new couple join us this week named Sifiso and Zoro, who are from Zimbabwe but working and studying in Edinburgh. Our leadership team is ethnically consisting of people from Ireland, Scotland, US, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, and Finland! We're loving the diversity, it truly is a 21st century missional team.
Today we ended up having great discussion for over three hours and didn't even realize it. Our conversations are so multi-layered because of so many cultural insights.
I met a guy named Joe a few days ago while Kate and I were at some cafe meeting some of her friends. He's over here from Canada with his girlfriend who's studying at the University. Turns out he studied film in college and has been looking for work over here. He's worked on a number of indie film projects and just beginning to get into photography. Anyways, I shared with him about Eikon and he was fascinated with our emphasis on video and the overall visual experience we're trying to create. He's interested in getting involved in eikon film!!!! That would be incredible to have someone like Joe who's bored here and looking for ways to tap into his passion.

Divine appointments!
I love how God orders things. It's so exciting to be on this end and see God creatively put everything together to accomplish His purposes there in Edinburgh. And then, to sense your passion. Awesome.
Eikon film is awesome. Privileged to be a part of it. It's the way forward.
schmiddys, really like the emphasis on honesty. i had a conversation with a guy at the ihouse doing his MA in poetry who actually dropped out of catholic seminary because of the hypocrisy and unwillingness to talk openly about tough questions. the interesting thing was that this guy had some pretty heretical ideas about reality, and yet he was obviously amazed by the life of Jesus and how he drew the most unexpectable people around them. as eikon continues to grow as a haven of intentional honesty, i can only imagine things happening that have the touch of christ on them.....nice use of lifeaquatic's soundtrack for your promo:)
