The next Rhythms of Grace Sunday gathering will be 9am on 1st February 2026, featuring immersive projections by Stephen Proctor.

The above photograph was taken by Stephen and is titled, “Flowing Into Oneness” (New Zealand, 2018). He comments:

“This is, by far, my favorite photo that I’ve ever taken.

A glacial river system transitions into a deep lake carved eons ago by the same glacier that is melting upstream. Glacial flour in the water gives the river its mesmerizing blue color. The resulting effect is a landscape that looks more like abstract art than anything else.

This photo has become a visual meditation for me. I read the image from right to left, seeing 3 stages of being: separation, transition, & unity. It is a picture of our world & the hope I have for the days ahead.

We all find ourselves in our own streams, be them cultural, religious, political, relational, or philosophical. Our diversity & individual identities are something to be celebrated. But an over-emphasis on this can lead to isolation & disconnection.

To be human is to long for connection… to transition into communal wholeness. Beauty happens when our individual streams intertwine & weave into Oneness. May we all embrace this sacred Flow.”
