An holistic and Kiwi Christian Spirituality,
Written by Mike Coleman

"The koru is used as the symbol. The centre of the koru is the heart of God. From this place, life flows in all its forms. All creation came from this heart that is love.

"In Jesus we are fully reunited with the heart of God. Our life is centred in God's heart - out life in God. We life together as the body of Christ. We life this life for those around us - our life for others. As we have been created out of love and reconciled out of love, we give this love to those around us.

This is a very practical, prayer based resource for fostering Koru Christianity.

Jo Wilding’s Diary from Iraq

Taking a circus to the real Iraq.

As a human rights observer, Jo Wilding, a young solidarity activist, witnessed and recorded some of the worst atrocities committed against ordinary civilians during the Iraq war and occupation. As the occupation began, she joined a group of performers to put on circus shows in squatter camps, hospitals, schools and orphanages.

Jo Wilding’s daily accounts have an immediacy and accuracy that bring the scenes sharply into focus. From the shocking and painful stories of the siege of Falluja to the crowds of mesmerised children given some respite from horror and uncertainty by the clowns, every episode vividly evokes what day to day life in Iraq is really like.
