In November, the Cathedral of St Paul in London celebrates the 300th anniversary of the topping-out of Wren’s building. As part of the celebration, over the month the cathedral will be illuminated with lights and text, and the public is being invited to submit words to use as part of that<\/a>.<\/p>\n

HOW DO YOU DESCRIBE THE QUESTION MARK INSIDE?<\/p>\n

We all wonder about what gives our lives meaning. It could be a child, a smile, an ambition, a particular hope, a love, the sun after rain, the sea, a whisper in the dark.<\/p>\n

What are the words that describe what’s important to you, and your own feelings about life’s meaning? What are the words that describe your feelings about the Cathedral Building of St Paul’s?<\/p>\n

Sometimes, the simplest words can sum up the deepest feelings. Words make it possible to share the way we see the world and to discover, perhaps, that we’re really not so different from each other.<\/p>\n

By adding your words to this project, you can be part of the attempt to describe the great mystery of the question mark that lies inside us all.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

That’s pretty spiffy. And it’s nice to see …<\/p>\n

    \n
  • … a reaching out for an art project to the public, rather than imposing some modernistic monstrosity on a beloved landmark.<\/li>\n
  • … an invitation for folks to express their spirituality, rather than some central authority dictating it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
