During this day, participants will be encouraged to consider how the gospel portraits of Jesus: Human, King, Servant and Divine, serve as lenses through which to view in detail the ‘Art of Becoming’. In order to help bring clarity, imagery from ancient manuscripts such as the Book of Kells will be used to illustrate how these portraits bridge Old and New Testaments as overall biblical foundations for understanding the first four stages of ongoing discernment from within the framework of our journey in Christ.

Following on, an ‘artistic twist in the tail’ will then be interwoven with the work of the 18th century artist Thomas Gainsborough. This unexpected partnership will be offered as a lens through which the participants might locate a fifth and final stage of ongoing discernment.

Finally, a collaborative piece of Art will be created throughout the day, with a theological surprise emerging as the place to conclude what our personal next step might be.The artwork that will hopefully evolve throughout the day, can then be used to produce a personal reminder resource for future ongoing reflections.
