Transparencies

What do Sister Wendy, the Muppets, Harry Potter and a sculpture of Jesus on the cross have in common? The answer is that they can all provide a focus for prayer and reflection which in turn can be used to help us see more clearly how God is at work in and through our contemporary culture. This book of prayers and reflections includes extracts from books, poems, pictures and pieces of music which, like transparencies, or photographic negatives ready for development, have colours and images waiting to be discovered. This collection, road tested by the ecumenical Mission Theological Advisory Group, is suitable for all kinds of prayer and study groups and can be used as a Lent or Advent course.
