Issue 14 of The Big Picture , titled My Town, My City , invites readers into a rich exploration of place—its spiritual, cultural, and communal significance. This edition weaves together theology, art and personal reflection to illuminate how our environments shape and are shaped by faith. Craig G. Bartholomew offers a compelling meditation on how places bear witness to both divine beauty and human contradiction. From the spires of Oxford to the ruins of Gaza, Bartholomew challenges readers to shape their places consciously for the flourishing of creation. Chris Wright offers a powerful biblical reflection on justice, reversal and divine sovereignty, drawing from Hannah's story in 1 Samuel 2 to speak into today’s global crises. Other standout pieces include reflections on rootedness and local memory, such as Home, Hearth and Wonder by Eileen Johnston and The Wise Man Stays at Home by Charity Gibson, which advocate for embracing the sacred in everyday life. Megan Greenwood’s essay on Sarel Petrus’ bronze birds beautifully illustrates how ordinary objects and places become vessels of memory and meaning. This issue is a thoughtful invitation to dwell deeply, see with new eyes and recognise the holiness of the places we inhabit.
