I share the hue of every new daydream in memory of the human spirit and the cruelty it is willing to endure in order to reach a reason to confide its deepest feelings in the eyes of the believers. It must now call to shore. Each poem is unique, but it also binds with the rest in a relative way, giving significance to the voice that was always meant to be a rising endeavor.

One explores the personal journey of Steve Clifford, General Director of the Evangelical Alliance. It explores the challenges of unity as outworked both in his day-to-day marriage and home life, and national and international relations. Unity is what drives him - but not just for unity's sake. In bringing people together, we are following the John 17 mandate to show the immense love of God, who sent his Son for us. We connect to a shared mission, whether it's nurturing a church culture which is increasingly confident in the gospel, getting involved in community action or lobbying the government for a better society. The Church is the key to long-lasting change in the world - by working in unity we can transform our communities with the good news of Jesus.
