Last week was not my best week ever, probably goes down as the worst in a long time for a number of painful reasons, and so I am particularly looking forward to meeting up with the rest of the London YFC directors in a few hours at the Tate Modern, which is one of my favourite places to hide out in London.

Later today we are going to try and step out of our comfort zones. It strikes me that quite often as Christian youth workers we challenge young people (and others!) to do this – step out of the comfort zone. It’s a cliche I know, but I wonder how often as workers we follow that advice.

Today we re going to try something that could go horribly wrong, but if it does we are amongst friends so does it matter? After the business art of the meeting, we have a task of wandering around the gallery looking for God; or more specifically for how God is talking.

We all know God talks through nature, through visions,and so on; I also believe God speaks through culture, through media, through arts. John Sentamu said the other day ‘Christ is present in all cultures, and at home in none’. Today we are going to see if we can identify God speaking through the art on display in the Tate Modern.

I’m looking forward to this morning – hopefully I will have stuff to tell you about later!
