This new course sounds really intriguing. Discussions are based around fine art paintings from the National Gallery, which put alongside a biblical story and a short reflection are discussion starters for those exploring Christianity. Good conversations develop as the different people see different things within the art and explore their insights together. It has potential as an explorers’ course for churches looking for an alternative to alpha but using the same conversational principles.
