Christ Pictured

  • The Diocesan House Of Retreat The Street CM3 1HA United Kingdom (map)

A Quiet Day focusing on the life and ministry of Christ as portrayed by different artists.

It has been said that art is ‘theology in pictures’. We will look at a selection of paintings of Christ, taking in his birth, passion, crucifixion and resurrection. Hopefully we will discover how art can provide us with new insights into what are often over-familiar gospel stories. There will be plenty of quiet time for personal prayer and reflection.

No prior knowledge of art or art history is required.

Revd Mark James is a retired Anglican Priest. He is a Spiritual Director, a member of the Chaplaincy Team at Pleshey and a Tutor on the Chelmsford Diocese Spiritual Companionship Course.

The day can be combined with an overnight stay or two at the House. If you would like this please contact the Retreat House direct 01245 237251.
