“The Church has a responsibility in a world where values, ethics and world views are shaped by narrative to ‘play’ them at their own game. Drama is not an optional extra or a bit of entertainment on the side, nor a skit to keep folks entertained, but a fundamental part of how we communicate nowadays, in a visually saturated world, where pictures and pictographs, images, icons, logos and apps dominate.  We are back in the era of stained glass windows, where truth and public discourse are communicated through creative processes of film and drama.”

Over on the Foolproof social channels you may have noticed our #poemsofhope project. During the 2021 lockdown we are publishing a poem a week with a new poem  posted every Friday. Make sure you’re following our foolproofcreative on Instagram and Foolproof Creative Arts on Facebook to stay up to date and follow the hashtag #poemsofhope.

As Foolproof supporters, I’d ask you to pray for people working in the creative industries, many of whom are freelancers in an already precarious profession.
