Images of Christ: The Presence in the Midst

Rowena Loverance considers a familiar image of Christ

Almost all the art works in this series have been either in churches or in public galleries. Last month’s was the nearest I could come to an image of Christ in an outside space. But I also wanted to point you towards one in a domestic space. And that’s what led me to Peckover House in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, and an engraving of the image of Christ which is probably best known to Quakers:
J Doyle Penrose’s The Presence in the Midst.
