Life and Work Magazine

December's issue of the magazine has an article which explores the subject of Christian Christmas Art with John Leighton Director of the National Galleries of Scotland, and discovers a treasure trove on our doorstep. Quite literally on our doorstep! The National Galleries have lent pictures for an exhibition entitled "Maternity" which is presently on show at Inverness Museum & Art Gallery. The most famous picture on display is the Sandro Botticelli "The Virgin Adoring the Sleeping Christ Child." Other interesting articles in this issue include an interview with composer and hymn writer Graham Kendrick, a report from the National Youth Assembly & Children's Assembly of the Church of Scotland, a seasonal reflection on Nativity plays by the Very Rev Dr James Simpson along with the Letters page which is always worth reading. Complimentary copies of this issue are available at the church and if you wish to subscribe to the magazine please add your name to the list in the vestibule or contact me by telephone at 01463 242883.
