The Chapel intends to replace the much-loved Russian icon of the Mother of God which stood at the back of the Chapel during Fr. Thorne’s chaplaincy with a new hand-painted icon. Making this commission requires a great deal of prayer and discernment on the part of the community. Next Monday evening, after said Holy Communion, we will gather to reflect on the place of icons in the liturgy and devotion of East and West, and in the Chapel in particular, in terms of particular experiences of students here. Four students will speak about their experiences of praying with icons (or attempting to).
