I`ve had more than enough of up-to date and `relevant` presentations and I thought this approach conveys a timeless atmosphere and helps us to appreciate the centrality of the faith to much of our cultural development.I`m really grateful for anything new today that doesn`t involve large ladies dancing around a sanctuary in gym-wear waving flags.Fr Michael Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320336535138538635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35539648.post-67208017213623390362007-06-11T10:41:00.000+01:002007-06-11T10:41:00.000+01:00I've been using it in our parish for receiving int...I've been using it in our parish for receiving into the faith and confirmation purposes and have found it very good for both. Some of the sections are better than others and I devoted a whole session to the <I>4 last things</I> and a whole session to <I>Mary</I> rather than lumping them together as one session.<BR/><BR/>Whilst the majority of the artwork is stupendous, some of it is ghastly (one in particular showing the Trinity and the Crowning of Our Lady in Heaven springs to mind)and so bad/uninspiring I had to devise my own sessions. Still, you'll never please everybody.<BR/><BR/>The use of old masters also doesn't give a feel of a living, vibrant, catholic (small c) Church. I think it could have done with some of the excellent devoltional art material form other continents or even photographs showing the reverence of the Blessed Sacrament shown in Asia and Africa. <BR/><BR/>Overall very useful, for all ages from 14 upwards.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
