  want a second go at life   SECOND LIFE

A highlight of the 2007 campaign was an island in Second Life modelled to look like a tongue in cheek Bible-times town, with a pub called "The Everlasting Arms", a sacred space surrounded by olive trees, and a Roman amphitheatre with its own giant cinema screen.

To see screenshots of the island, click the images below. Or better still, sign up with Second Life (for free) and visit the island for yourself. For registered Second Lifers, the direct link to the island is here. Please scroll down to read on.

Visitors to the island were able to find information about the Christian faith in the various buildings, and an animated nativity film was screened in the amphitheatre in the run up to Christmas.

The space in Second Life has been produced by Andrew Down (known in his Second Life as Lewis Nerd) of Pocket Protector Projects, which provides building and consultancy in Second Life.
