The brief

An oikos is the ancient Greek equivalent of a household — the basic unit of society, land and family living together in one domestic setting.

During the Season of Creation, Christians worldwide are creating a home for all and renewing the Oikos of God — five short, flat-animated lessons pitching the image of "Abraham's tent," the historic symbol of hospitality, as the season's guiding idea.
