Science month

Origins

It seems like Manchester runs from one festival into another these days. Having had a summer with the amazing Manchester International Festival and a Food and Drink Festival, October brings the Science Festival, a Gothic Festival and a Literature Festival!

Sanctus is taking inspiration from some of these and hosting some science-themed services this month. This has involved exploring the properties and uses of steam and how we can relate that to our spiritual experiences. Also, we have heard all about blood from a haematologist and wondered at the amazing capability and structure of our bodies.

Finally, as you can see from the image above, the community have come together to produce components for a piece in the Nexus art exhibition Origins. Inspired by the service Sanctus ran at Greenbelt earlier this year, this includes (loose) representations of molecules and is intended to grow throughout the month.
