"Room to be people" is a practical and artistic necessity. That is very much the theme and emphasis of this beautiful collection of meditations and images curated by Shaeron Caton Rose, and commissioned by Leeds Sanctuary. Whether we regard ourselves as religious or not, we human beings continually need to find spaces in which to flourish, reflect and share. That realisation came to many of us as never before during the Covid-19 lockdowns.
Our planet also faces unprecedented challenges requiring us to reconnect with the earth, with different cultures, and with neighbours near and far. "Everyday Sacrament" is a powerful invocation of the common tasks of creating, repairing, resting and hoping. Through its signs, symbols and senses we are invited to discover fresh possibilities approaching us through the darkness... and into a renewing light.
