Police Warfare

I attended the Global Day of Prayer at the Groote Kerk ("Great Church") in Cape Town today. Police Superitendent Scanlen (pictured) said: “For every crime that happens out there, there’s a spirit behind it. This is spiritual warfare. My prayer is that we [the South African Police] will receive Jesus Christ as Lord.”

Favourite Photo [1]


I took this photo with a grainy “handycam” at St. George’s Cathedral in Cape Town. It was a social/political rally over the health crisis. The atmosphere was thrilling, and the extreme noise of the chanting made my ears ring. I felt as though I was in the midst of the epic protests of the 60’s. I pushed my way through a large, dense crowd, past the press corps, to find my way towards the back of the altar, where I took this photo. It seems to capture the anarchic, populist "feel" of it all.
