The Angel of the North.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Angel doesn\u2019t relate to any one person or people, viewers attach their own meaning to the sculpture, optimism associated with the millennium, a connection with the miners who worked beneath where the Angel stands, personal or religious experiences. Why an angel? The sculptor, Anthony Gormley, has said that it was a reminder of the industrial history of the site, a reference to the future, symbolising the transition from the industrial to the information age, and as a focus for human hopes and fears. &#8220;People are always asking, why an angel? The only response I can give is that no-one has ever seen one and we need to keep imagining them.\u201d Comparing the modernity of the sculpture to historic concepts of angels, Gail-Nina Anderson remarked that the&nbsp;<em>Angel of the North<\/em>&nbsp;&#8220;is also an angel for the 1990s, a high-tech tribute to modern engineering in a period busy with amusing itself with fairies and angels, spirit-guides and reincarnations.\u201d When I see the Angel of the North,&nbsp; my take is of a towering guardian. How do you see it?<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pattinghamchurch.org.uk\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/vftp258image2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"262\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pattinghamchurch.org.uk\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/vftp258image2.jpg\" alt=\"St Michael\u2019s victory over the devil\" class=\"wp-image-12654\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>It makes me wonder about modern representations of angels and other figures. I moved to Coventry in the 1960s, a visit to the newly built Cathedral, and I saw the statue of St Michael\u2019s victory over the devil, symbolising the triumph of good over evil. An appropriate choice remembering the background to the new cathedral in the city. Probably the first time I\u2019d seen a statue that wasn\u2019t in some sort of \u201cclassical\u201d style, and I wasn\u2019t sure I liked it, it was different and disturbing. But it certainly made me think. Apparently the cathedral reconstruction committee objected to the choice of the sculptor Epstein because he was Jewish, to which the cathedral architect Basil Spence responded, \u201cso was Jesus Christ\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pattinghamchurch.org.uk\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/vftp258image3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"240\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pattinghamchurch.org.uk\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/vftp258image3.jpg\" alt=\"The Knife Angel\" class=\"wp-image-12658\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>An angel statue can send a powerful message. The&nbsp;<em>Knife Angel&nbsp;(National Monument Against Violence &amp; Aggression)<\/em>&nbsp;is a sculpture made from 100,000&nbsp;knives by Bradley at the&nbsp;British Ironworks Centre, in&nbsp;Oswestry. To create the 27ft high sculpture, amnesties were held for individuals to anonymously donate their knives. Knives seized by police were also included (sadly some still bore traces of body fluids. The sculpture was created in order to highlight knife crime in the United Kingdom and educate young people on the harmful effect violent behaviour can have on their communities. My interest was piqued by the choice of an angelic form for such a statue, perhaps the depiction of a force for good arising from evil.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pattinghamchurch.org.uk\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/vftp258image4.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pattinghamchurch.org.uk\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/vftp258image4.png\" alt=\"Homeless Jesus\" class=\"wp-image-12657\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The statue <em>Homeless Jesus<\/em> depicts Jesus as a homeless person, sleeping on a park bench. His face and hands are obscured, concealed beneath a blanket, but&nbsp;the wounds of crucifixion on his feet reveal his identity. The statue has been described as a &#8220;visual translation&#8221; of the passage from Matthew\u2019s gospel, Jesus tells his disciples, &#8220;as you did it to one of the least of my brothers, you did it to me&#8221;. The sculpture was intended to be provocative, its sculptor,&nbsp;Schmalz commenting, &#8220;That&#8217;s essentially what the sculpture is there to do. It&#8217;s meant to challenge people.&#8221;&nbsp; Unsurprisingly, reaction to the statue has been mixed. Some love it; some don&#8217;t.&#8221; Some felt it was an &#8220;insulting depiction&#8221; of Jesus that &#8220;demeaned&#8221; the neighbourhood. Others are often seen sitting on the bench alongside the statue, resting their hands on Jesus and praying. And for me? Well\u2026. am I a Priest, a Levite or a Samaritan?<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pattinghamchurch.org.uk\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/vftp258image5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"156\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pattinghamchurch.org.uk\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/vftp258image5.jpg\" alt=\"Michelangelo\u2019s David\" class=\"wp-image-12656\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>A statue from the past can give still us a message of hope. Michelangelo\u2019s famous statue of David, the shepherd boy. In Florence, an enormous block of ruined marble stood in the works department of Santa Mar\u00eda del Fiore church, once a magnificent piece of raw stone, it gathers dust in the darkness of the church. Michelangelo arrives, examines the stone, starts work, depicting a young David, sling in hand despite the doubts of everyone in Florence. The rest as they say, is history. Our life in Christ may be seen in the same light. No matter how flawed we may perceive ourselves, how ruined we think things are, in the hands of our creator we are able to move forward in his service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Iain Coleman<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>(For those who cannot see the images in this email they can be viewed in the version on the website at &lt;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pattinghamchurch.org.uk\/web\/information\/chadnet\/chadnet-no-258\/\">https:\/\/www.pattinghamchurch.org.uk\/web\/information\/chadnet\/chadnet-no-258\/<\/a>&gt;.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Would you like to write a View from the Pews?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We welcome contributions for View from the Pews from anyone who would like to write one.
