On Religion: Canterbury Cathedral Graffiti Art Installation Draws Criticism
The “Hear Us” exhibition added flashy decals to the columns, walls and floors of the iconic sanctuary, imitating the spray-paint art form common in alleys, road underpasses and urban neighborhoods.
The images even offered up some bold challenges, amidst the recent decision to add decorative graffiti inside Canterbury Cathedral, founded in 597.
This added tension to debates surrounding the Oct. 2 appointment of the Right Reverend and Right Honorable Dame Sarah Mullally as the 106th successor to St. Augustine.
The arrival of a new archbishop of Canterbury would be a headline that stood alone, especially if England's monarch had just approved the first woman to serve as the symbolic leader of the Anglican Communion.
