The City of God Bible Art Mural Project brings together the Anglican Parish of Christ the King in the City of God in Rio de Janeiro, international mural artist Joel Bergner and local people. In 2010 and 2011 we produced murals of the Garden of Eden, the Last Supper and the New Jerusalem. In 2013 the project takes to the streets to produce two murals for Prophets' Square and Easter Square. Follow the adventure here over the coming days...

Time travel
Local history forms a key part of the project this time around because the space where the new mural will be painted will also feature a timeline recounting the highlights of the City of God's 45-year story.
Today we sat down to look at photographs of the first residents arriving in the 1960s and with help from people who have lived in the community for more than four decades started to make a list of the key events and players.
