Irish Times Notes
'Picture Sermon Series' at Trinity College Dublin
Chapel of Trinity College Dublin - Trinity Term 2006
?Picture Sermon Series?
TCD Chapel has announced its forthcoming series of ?Picture Sermons?. Each Sunday morning (10.45am) in the coming term an invited preacher will discuss the story of a European masterwork within the broader liturgical context of the Christian Eucharist. This exercise in ?intratextual ekphrasis? is among the first of its kind to be attempted in Ireland.
Commenting on the series, the College Chaplain, Dr Alan McCormack observed, ?We are very much looking forward to this exciting and vibrant process which marks a further stage in the Chaplaincy?s desire to find new ways of connecting with diverse and discrete audiences in the University?. All are welcome to attend these services and postcards of each European masterwork will be supplied.
