摘要：ACE continues its educational role in April with another residential course at the Cuddesdon Study Centre just outside Oxford. This short course, 10-13 April, is designed to give participants the opportunity to both engage with religious art and to reflect on how religious art is perceived. Each day will balance theoretical input with visits to see religious art in the churches, galleries, and chapels in Oxford. We will examine the contexts in which religious art is viewed, suggest ways of how we may reflect theologically on contemporary art, and look at the place of art in churches and other places of worship.

ACE events.

Just before this issue went to press ACE held its annual regional meeting in the wonderful surroundings of Southwell Minster. We were delighted that so many contributed to the sessions (leaving ACE, rightfully, as a mere facilitator) including The Deans of Sheffield and Birmingham, Ben Stoker of the Altered Arts Project in the Diocese of Lincolnshire, John Newling (see A&C no74), Nicholas Myhneer, Matthew Askey and Julia Porter-Pryce. The Very Rev'ds Peter Bradley and Catherine Ogle gave great insight into their respective cathedral projects--'Soul Boats' and 'Going Public', reviewed in this issue--revealing very different yet highly successful pathways to both aesthetic achievement and a significant level of community engagement.

The course will be led by Art and Christianity Enquiry (ACE) staff and trustees: Graham Howes, Alison Milbank, Sophie Hacker and Laura Moffatt. For more details and to book a place visit www.rcc.ac.uk/coursesprogramme/art-and-theology.
