Saturday 21st November at 11am - Welcome Conversation facilitated by Helen Hinksman. As Advent draws near our focus will be Light in the Darkness, the renewal of Hope. We will look at a contemporary short story where hope and goodness triumph in the aftermath of darkness. It is set in modern times, a true story and one you might find meaningful and poignant. We will also look at 2 paintings which illustrate the same theme, that Darkness is always present but Light will overcome the darkness. The paintings are both by Zurbaran The Adoration of the Shepherds (Musée des Beaux Arts Grenoble) and The Lamb of God ( Wikipedia Prado Museum Madrid). It is interesting to see that the Sacrificial Lamb is by the manger in Bethlehem. Do come and join our conversation in person..
