There are 48 Cathedrals in England and Wales with over a thousand people visiting each cathedral on a weekly basis, and this number rises over bank holiday week ends and special days. What a tremendous opportunity this is to tell people not just about the cathedral and how it was built and the significant points about the architecture but also to present Jesus as a personal Saviour.

This project aims to provide an exhibition in textiles that will enhance the experience of everyone who sees it. The art work tells a story which may be in picture, word or sound format. Each of the exhibitions is put together using a bible theme and aims to be contemporary and accessible to all. The challenge is to tell each person a little bit more about God and also by way of a Christian Enquiry Agency, freepost response card to invite a response, particularly from those who do not know Christ as their Saviour.

Each theme is put on a series of up to 10 screens, the whole work is commissioned by the trust and then loaned to the various partner Cathedrals for a given period.

The first 5 themes are:

Creation
Angels
The Journey (The Cross)
River of Life
The Beatitudes (just commissioned)

The finished screens are hung on specially designed stands that fit into and with the architecture and style of the Cathedral. Currently they can be seen at Coventry Exeter and Rochester.
