The writings of our forefathers in the faith provide the modern Church with insights that can assist us in fulfilling that profound longing for connection with the Almighty and for living a life to the His glory.

Inspired by the real-life murder of a British army soldier by religious fanatics, and the rampant burning of mosques that followed, Guy Gunaratne’s In Our Mad and Furious City is a snapshot of the diverse, frenzied edges of modern-day London.
