Gaming and Spirituality

I can't even remember the number of times I used to sit through long Church sermons wistfully imagining I was somewhere else playing a videogame.

This isn't quite that. But in taking a game with a chillout vibe and little excessive context of its own, Exeter Cathedral have experimented with using Flower as a visual and participatory aid to worship.

Whatever you believe in, I think its interesting how this game appears to create an focus for reflection and meditation, much like lighting a candle or listening to recorded natural sounds.
