Christianity and Creativity
Sean Fletcher visits the Chapel in the Fields, a Methodist retreat in Cheshire, where craft and carpentry help to build faith and friendship.\n\nHe meets the project’s leader, the Rev Kevin Johnson, who runs carpentry workshops for those struggling with loneliness and depression. While helping to craft some wooden keepsakes for a local primary school, Sean chats to one of the volunteers, who has found comfort and strength at the chapel during a period of bereavement.\n\nSean also revisits some of the inspiring and uplifting stories of Christian creativity we’ve encountered in recent years. There’s another chance to see a conversation with renowned stained-glass artist Thomas Denny, and Sean looks back to when he joined a kintsugi class, where the participants use the Japanese art form to learn the value of finding beauty in things that are broken.
