Description
Under the Bright Wings tells the story of a pioneering work in the beautiful but ravaged Portuguese Algarve. Peter and Miranda Harris, who have been living in a small village there for over nine years, share their journey as they learn about cross-cultural evangelism, community living, and conservation. The A Rocha Christian Field Study Centre and Bird Observatory has welcomed hundreds of visitors from around the world, making this book a refreshing and honest look at how the gospel makes a practical difference to conservation. The book is lavishly illustrated with evocative line drawings, offering a unique perspective on the intersection of faith and environmentalism. It is a story that highlights the importance of Christian responsibility towards the environment and their neighbours, as well as the joy of community living and conservation. A remarkable commitment to conservation, a joyful appreciation of Portugal's wildlife, and a deep sense of community are all woven throughout this book, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in the practical application of faith.
