I've written plenty of work without cussing (it's a standard these days -- admittedly one I'm rethinking if I have time away from writing for work all day), but it's still dark enough that it's not for kids. Also, newsflash: The Bible is rated R through and through. Some of my favorite books, shows and movies are those that show that damaging affects of sin.

I'm afraid that too many organizations are afraid to work with one another... Like churches are afraid to work with other churches across denominational lines. The insight on cohesion within a larger context is also timely! The Arts in Transformation students in the program I represent are looking to do what you are sharing in their own art-projects/ministries. Thank you for insight on the need for collaboration!
