Description
Summary:‘Landscape and the Kingdom of God’ examines how co-operation with secular partners in a World Heritage Status Bid may be seen as an expression of mission, and how the transformation of urban landscape and sacred space may reflect the Kingdom of God. The history of Wearmouth-Jarrow, explored through Bede’s story of the founding of the seventh-century monastery, highlights contemporary resonances in art, learning, community and Christian communication. The Wearmouth context is explored historically, practically and theologically, with the etching of cruciform pathways on the site’s surface seen as a means of interpreting access, encounter and human transformation.
