CENTRAL
LONDON EXHIBITION OF NEW PICTURES BY ELIZABETH WANG
If you hurry and live in the London area you
should just have time to catch the end of the summer exhibition
of paintings by the Catholic artist and mystic, Elizabeth
Wang, at the French Church off Leicester Square. The theme
is “Christ Among Us:Love Made Visible” and the exhibition
ends on 19th September. All the paintings come to Elizabeth
as spiritual pictures in her prayer time and on Saturday 15th
September from 2pm to 3.30pm there will be a time of prayer
and reflection on the themes of the exhibition when she will
share some of her spiritualinsights.There will also be a talk
by Canon Digby Samuels. The church is open every day 9.30
am to 7.30 pm. You can see many of Elizabeth’s paintings
on line on the Radiant LightOnline Art Gallery.This can be
found on www.radiantlight.org.uk
NIGHT OF LIGHT
Instead of celebrating “Halloween” with witches
and spooks, why not organise a Night of Light for the children
of the parish and mark the feast of “All Hallow’s
Eve, which is the vigil of All Saints. Cor et Lumen Christi
have a website with lots of interesting ideas. See www.nightoflight.org
THIS PROMISE IS FOR YOU
The English NSC is thinking about filming a follow up video/DVD
series to “This Promise is forYou”. To help them
to discern what would be the most helpful content for such
a series, they would like to hear from anyone who has run
the initial series for their feedback and ideas. Please contact

on highe rground. Th ecommunity face extensive costs to cover
the damage. Those who would like to help inanyway financially
