Monthly column on the arts
EN Arts Quiz
I know that you're all half-way to Spring by now, but I'm writing this a few days after New Year and am feeling extremely seasonal. So I present the Evangelicals Now Arts Quiz.
The first and only prize is an original hand-printed unframed photograph by Tricia Porter, to be selected by her from Over The Bent World: Images from Gerard Manley Hopkins, by David and Tricia Porter (Solway, 1999). In the event of a tie, the first correct solution opened will win the prize - or, if nobody gets it completely right, the one with most correct answers. Diligent readers of my column through the year will find themselves with a head start (that'll teach you to file back copies). Entries by post or fax only (no emails) to the EN office, please, by Friday February 2.
