i got a nice surprise last week when a limited edition envelope came through the post. it was from adrian riley of electric angel. he has been involved in alternative worship over the years but is currently without a group as an outlet for his creativity so along with a couple of others produced felt.
in the envelope was a lovely book with images, poems and reflections with the instructions - read, feed, be; and then in a little compartment (all hand stitched together) were some seeds with the words plant, grow, eat. i am making it a worship trick - not that you can reprduce felt exactly, but it's a wonderul idea to create something to encourage faith that is unique and can be posted to friends around the globe for people to participate in a dispersed moment of prayer, reflection and (alternative) worship.
we had friends from croatia staying so opened the envelope with them and they took it back so some of adrian's beans may be grown and shared there...
ta for the mention jonny. if anybody wants a copy don't be afraid to ask - we haven't got many of the handmade envelopes with seeds left, but have plenty little booklets in plain transparent envelopes that we'd be more than happy to post out to anybody who would like one.

That sounds a lovely idea. Always on the lookout for things like this x
