Love in Action - A Photographic Documentary Book

Love in Action is a story of hope: how one ordinary neighbourhood in the corner of the world - Manly, in Sydney, Australia - formed a relationship with the people of Manado, Indonesia, to take action against poverty. From its small beginnings with only a handful of residents, this grassroots movement has captured the imagination of Manly's wider community. It now includes support of local council, local businesses, schools and churches, and over 13,000 residents.

With over 100 stunning photographs shot by photographer Stuart Harris and words by Jim Collins, Love in Action captures the inspiring story of a community taking action against poverty. Thousands of lives have now been transformed as opportunity, dignity, freedom and hope flow from the relationship between the people of Manly and Manado. Discover some of the treasures that can be unearthed through the efforts of a community partnership and learn how you too can play your part in making our world a better place.

Love in Action, the book, is available now. You can read the blog below and participate by leaving comments.

You can purchase the book online today. See the Buy Book button above. Profits raised from the sale of this book will be donated to benefit the communities that we visited in Manado.

Community and Unity

Monday, 17 August, 2009 Posted in News

Love in Action was presented to the congregation of Balgowlah Uniting Church on Sunday. Minister Graham Perry kindly introduced Stuart Harris at both their 9:30 am and 6:00 pm services. It was fitting that the message of the sermon was about community and unity. Manly-Manado is a wonderful example of community growing locally, and the efforts of the 7 churches in the Manly region working together is an example of unity as we strive to serve our neighbours needs in Manado, loving them and sharing our blessings with them.

It was very encouraging to receive such positive feedback from the Balgowlah community. They were very supportive and purchased many books after the services. Thank you Balgowlah Uniting, and God bless you.

Next week, Sandy Chookman and Will Wrathall will be speaking at Balgowlah Uniting Church in a series called, Share Stories.

On Friday 28 August 2009 you can support Manly-Manado at Alive at the Chapel featuring live performances from many local bands.
