I know some churches have used it for a Lent course, but that keeps it within the church generally, and I take your original point about the magnetism of the painting itself for those who believe and those who don’t.

Henri Nouwen wrote a whole book as a meditation on it!

People line up to get in and see this great work of art but people aren’t lining up to get into our churches to hear this story. Maybe someone should do a sermon about this one day. What do you think Dave?
