Exeter Cathedral has taken delivery of a set of Stations for the Cross which will remain in place as an exhibition for tourists and pilgrims until the end of March.
Via Crucis is a touring exhibition of 14 images. The panels use mixed media (including charcoal, metal leaf, ink and pastel) and are the work of multi-diciplinary artist Caroline Waterlow, herself based in the West Country. Where the traditional Stations emphasise the suffering path of Jesus, this installation follows the gospel accounts of Christ's Passion.

A recent scientific report has suggested that 4 out of 9 ‘planetary boundaries’ have been crossed*.
If pushed beyond safe limits, the Earth may become less hospitable for humankind to prosper. In this update on the boundaries, the authors found that climate change, the loss of biosphere integrity (through species extinction, and the loss of genetic and functional diversity), land-system change (for example deforestation), and biochemical flows (such as phosphorus and nitrogen from fertilisers) have passed beyond safe levels. The other five processes relate to ozone depletion, ocean...
Had the recent storms and flooding been caused by a perceived external enemy – another country, a hostile organisation or terror group, there would have been political uproar. We would have seen civil anger against the perpetrators and the calling for violent retaliation. A massive propaganda campaign would have ensued against the provocateurs, and there would likely have been strong demands for a declaration of war. But climate change (which is the most likely explanation for increasingly extreme weather events) is not caused by any of ‘them’. It is not caused by an easily definable enemy...
