Places of worship of all traditions have always accumulated collections. Today some have generated great art museums, while others just keep a few old things in a sacristy cupboard. The Gods' Collections project looks at why and how these collections have developed, how they have been looked after, and how understanding of them has changed over the millennia.
My tour (which was originally developed for the Friends of St Martin-in-the-Fields) has now been turned into a case study for the God's Collections website. The case study sets the commissions programme at St Martin-in-the-Fields in the wider context of the renewal of sacred art within the twentieth century. The case study also develops further articles originally written for Artlyst and Art+Christianity.
