Overview

"""We have been living on the edge of a small village in the south of Portugal for over nine years. Sometimes, in the stress of the irregular hours and eccentric episodes that make up our life here, we ask ourselves how it all began, simply to find a culprit . . ."" Under the Bright Wings tells the story of a pioneering work in the beautiful but ravaged Portuguese Algarve. Keenly aware of their Christian responsibility for the environment and towards their neighbours, Peter and Miranda Harris learn from scratch about cross-cultural evangelism, community living and conservation. The A Rocha Christian Field Study Centre and Bird Observatory has now welcomed hundreds of visitors from all over the world. Lavishly illustrated with evocative line drawings, this is a refreshing, honest and humorous look at how the gospel makes a practical difference to conservation. ""In the developing ministry of A Rocha an exciting, contemporary form of Christian mission has come alive."" (The Rev Dr. John Stott) ""A remarkable commitment to conservation, a joyful appreciation of Portugal's wildlife and a deep sense of community: read this book."" (Tim Cleeves, Royal Society for the Protection of Birds)"
