    Brief intro...
    I am an artist working on my degree show, I have used Christianity in my work for 2 years now. I must say that my work in no way mocks christianity but what I am trying to do is modernise old scenes and storys.
    At the moment I am working on the stations of the cross with a view on how it relates to modern day man.

    I would be very interested in hearing other christians views on this idea!

    Again, I am not trying to be insulting in any way and I must apologise if anyone takes offence.

    Thank you for any responses in advance

    Hi there Irishcrazyhorse,

    I think only the Catholic Church has stations of the cross. They are an element of what is called Popular piety and so you should perhaps check what the "General Directory of Popular Piety and liturgy - principles and Guidelines' has to say. it was issued a few years ago by the Vatican Congregation for Divine Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments. I think what you are talking about is esentially inculturation. But the thing to keep in mind is that the purpose of sacred art is about helping people have a more profound experience of prayer. So I think the success of your endeavour with these stations of the Cross will be measured in how well it will allow people to enter prayerfully into the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ.
