An artist at work


















After a few days' thought, Joel sketched out the mural today. It will have three sections. The outer two will show the City of God externally, the middle section will offer an internal view.


















A large figure of St. John the Evaneglist will point to the vision of the City of God, the New Jerusalem, that he had whilst exiled on the island of Patmos.


Joel has narrowed the community's history to ten key moments or themes starting with the architect Guiseppe Badolato designing the City of God and the first residents arriving in 1966.
