The entire service was based on Henri Nouwen's book about Rembrandt's painting 'The Return of the Prodigal'. We had obtained a set of slides showing details of the painting - hands, feet, faces - and created a station for each one, examining different aspects of the story. |
In the centre, the whole painting; on the left, the older brother; on the right, the younger brother. |
In the foreground, the station about the younger brother (the Prodigal). This is the original version of the 'true north' station with map, compasses and magnets that became station 5 'Distractions' of the St Paul's Labyrinth. In the background, a station about the calloused feet of the Prodigal. |
Looking back to the entrance. The avenue of candles in the dark church was a usual feature of Grace before the church was restored. |
