Book launch in St Stephen’s
St Stephen’s, Bristol is a late medieval building with a grand tower, originally forming a veritable Tall Building overlooking the stone-flagged quayside of Bristol harbour. It is, like so many religious buildings, at once unique — a one-off, with its own character — and typical, picking up themes that arise not only throughout Christendom, but throughout the world, when human being attempt to crystallise sacredness in architecture.
And today, from 6.30pm, it will be the venue for the launch of my unique, richly illustrated attempt to articulate that extraordinary global story: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Secret-Language-Sacred-Spaces-Canon/dp/1848991118. There will be candlelight. There will be music. There will be cake. Come along!
