The earthly power is a economical power, money plays an important role on our contemporary society. Gradually the faith loses all importance and is replaced by an alternative ‘self experience’, through travelling, sporting and wellness centres.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCkCNERXzZ-5DiNAZgSWTcDkirtne42iQ0sN6ARDW6l2XrIwelwo8p4ElxD6weiYaMw2GmhVubKVWi0NZZm4S7yfKDRjkr90UpdfRPg_rs6L9pjxWjq6RLX2EniozIaLMZrxXlK3z9zliQ/s1600-h/about-avl-Joep.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243317940387539634" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCkCNERXzZ-5DiNAZgSWTcDkirtne42iQ0sN6ARDW6l2XrIwelwo8p4ElxD6weiYaMw2GmhVubKVWi0NZZm4S7yfKDRjkr90UpdfRPg_rs6L9pjxWjq6RLX2EniozIaLMZrxXlK3z9zliQ/s400/about-avl-Joep.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 342px; height: 343px;" /></a><br />Joep van Lieshout was born in Ravenstein (The Netherlands, 1963).
