Proves humous has its place.
Some history: Scott Wegener won the then Signs Publishing Company Award at the inaugural Manifest Creative Arts Festival in 2011 for an entry entitled “Know misunderstandings.”
Scott Wegener received a silver award at the Australasian Religious Press Association Awards Night.
The Seventh-day Adventist Church in the South Pacific’s lifestyle magazine Signs of the Times published the entry as “How to understand the truth” in June 2012.
Still reading? Good.
Now the Australasian Religious Press Association has recognised Scott’s work, judging it worthy of a silver award in the “Best Humourous Item” category at its annual awards night.
“Scott . . . takes a trip to his barber and discovers how we can easily misunderstand what people actually mean,” reads the judges’ comments. “He gently and skilfully moves the first-person perspective to a discussion of theological misunderstandings. This piece has a great conversational tone and style that, through its humour, allows us to appreciate our differences while having a chuckle.”
Scott says he is pleased the article has again reached beyond its Adventist audience. “I’m praying it will reach someone who will take to heart the message and reassess the beliefs they hold from simply being told. It’s a jungle, but the truth is out there—and it is good. Pick up thy (eco-friendly) machete and search!”
