Ben Quash, Professor of Christianity & the Arts at King’s College London, leads a service reflecting on contemporary works of art in churches in the UK. He visits Guildford Baptist Church and explores the church's new Prayer Chapel Communion Table and Lectern, designed and created by Stephen Owen and winner of the 2019 Art and Christianity awards. He reflects on Tracey Emin’s For You, a pink neon sign written in the artist’s handwriting, with the words: ‘I felt you and I knew you loved me’, commissioned by Liverpool Cathedral as part of its contribution to Liverpool’s year as European Capital of Culture 2008. And he considers Jake Lever’s ‘Soul Boats’, a large scale installation commissioned to celebrate Birmingham Cathedral’s tercentenary. Producer Andrew Earis.
