Evening with Sr Wendy Beckett

St Paul's Bookshop hosted the launch of Sr Wendy Beckett's new books on Tuesday 12 July. 

Sister Wendy Contemplates the Iconic Jesus, published by ST PAULS) is the second in a series of books in which she offers spiritual commentaries on works of art, the first in the series being Saint Paul in Art. Whilst icons are not strictly works of art, they are in fact representations of the divine, "written" under strict guidelines. Her books clearly show that Sister Wendy still has the ability to interpret the sacred in a way that touches the heart and the soul. In his speech at the launch of the book, Archbishop Vincent Nichols of Westminster thanked publishers for continuing to make Sister Wendy’s writings available and said of her, "You allow people to take another step towards the Lord."

My photos made an appearance on their blog here.
