Yesterday the Advent Art Installation began its tour around Redbridge churches by being installed at St Luke's Great Ilford.
The liturgy of welcome (which will be used in each of the six churches where the Installation will be displayed) included the prayer: "Strengthen us in our weakness; support us in our stumbling efforts to do your will, and free our tongues to sing your praise."
John Brown said that the Installation is "a haven of peace in a busy world and a sign of much-needed hope in the present moment.”
Artist, Henry Shelton said: "It is the first I have been part of a community art project. I think we achieved what we set out to achieve; to design the installation via a committee, for the finished work to reflect the committee's ideas, and for the work to draw the viewer into the installation. I thought when we sat down in front of the installation that we had achieved all three.”
