Went to an excellent church exhibition over the weekend. It was on the theme of Comfort. Interprations included all kinds of arts and crafts, including paintings, collages, interactive themes and so forth – many inspired by Biblical texts offering people the comfort of God. Others invited viewers to think of things in which they found comfort, giving visual suggestions like a pair of cosy slippers or a hot water bottle. The church was one where the pews had been removed and the whole area was visually stunning and warm. For me, the most magnificent piece was a carving around three feet tall; it was a depiction that showed that everyone is included in the love of God. And that is true comfort.
