This is the CHURCH

prayer in this film

"This is the Church" is a collaboration between Prayerscapes and AlcanzArte Danza in Chile. The work is based around a remarkably inspired spontaneous prayer that Roger Ellis (Revelation Church, Chichester) prayed as an introduction to a talk he gave at a national UK worship conference. Thankfully the tape recorder was running and so we were able to re-create this prayer in the studio, and develop a soundtrack around the words. AlcanzArte Danza have choreographed and filmed a dance to the piece, devising and shooting the work on location near Santiago, Chile.
This is the Church

Let’s embrace the cry of heaven. To see humanity filled with the light, the love and the Glory of God.
Human beings in their right mind, cleansed of darkness, sin and brokenness, restored to the place they should be.
Walking in the garden with the Father, enjoying fellowship with him,
lives restored so they can be who they were intended to be.

Connected, fulfilled. The hole that’s in their life that no one else can fill other than the Creator – filled.
People released to be a celebration of their humanity, a celebration of who they are, who they were made to be.
Church connected together in the presence of God, a strange parable.
A parable of unanswered questions. A parable of broken lives.
A parable of great celebration, of forgiveness and healing received now.
Of great triumph, a living party- such is Church.
