FOR MANIFOLD. - Joy chime 'No one leaves home unless home is the mouth of a shark'. -Warsan Shire The Manifold Place is home, and really, what makes it home is not the pretty decor or the urban groove. A couple of years ago or so, I walked into The Manifold Place one evening after quite a while, and it felt like strong arms wrapped around me and held me close to a warm body pulsing with warmth and wonderful welcome. Warmth is the pulse of this place, and love is the blood that flows through it. This home offers healthy nutrition: the rich, rightly divided, undiluted word of God that causes faith to rise in your heart, uncensored, raw, hearty worship to an audience of One, love, and hope. Broken wings, tired eyes, crippled dreams, weary souls, You find that bright hope runs and spins and twirls here. Your soul will uncurl and open towards the Truth and Life, causing your eyes to sparkle once more as your dreams receive life and leap in your heart, 270
