Was at Coventry Cathedral at the weekend. Its quite an amazing space. It was completely rebuilt after being bombed in the second world war and has a very contemporary fell to it with some amazing stained glass windows and a very industrial ‘look’ to it.
I was there with CMS for a festival they were putting on. We had two labyrinths running over the course of the weekend and they worked really well in such an amazing setting.
The statue is Ecco Homme by Epstein, representing Christ before Pilate, its a really evocative piece that reminded me of a lot of Inca statues.
The cathedral would make a great space for some massive alt.worship services, you could have one going on in each of the smaller chapels (of which there are three) as well as some major installations around the place. Well, thoughts for the future anyway
