SUMMARY:God is in the Detail (Photographic Exhibition by Alan\, Cathedral Verger)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a photographic exhibition by Alan Edington\, Verger at Newcastle Cathedral for 15 years. \nAlan says\, “My role is all about the often-unnoticed\, behind-the-scenes care and attention that keeps this building welcoming for people from all walks of life who come to seek God. \n“I first picked up a camera in 1999 – I’m not sure why. By 2005\, feeling as though I was going around in circles\, I enrolled as a mature student at Northumbria University to study Contemporary Photography. \n“These photographs began as a personal project alongside my university work\, exploring various ideas and themes. It’s a project that has continued ever since\, with new images added recently. \n“Things are not always as clear as they seem at first glance\, and the phrase ‘The devil is in the detail’ reminds us to pay close attention. Jesus’s words\, ‘Seek\, and you shall find’\, offer a more hopeful vision of God who can be found everywhere and in everything – if we take the time to look. \n“Yet\, from the sidelines\, observing this world\, it can sometimes feel hard to see any sign of God. Perhaps\, though\, the signs are all around us – it’s just that we don’t always notice them. \n“Through this collection of photographs of familiar\, yet often overlooked\, spaces around this city\, I have seen God and invite you to ‘seek’ with me. Who knows what you might find? \n“God is in the detail. Draw near with faith. The signs are there.” \nThe exhibition will be celebrated with a ‘Meet the Photographer’ event on Monday 19 January 2026 at 6:30pm. \nGod is in the Detail: Meet the Photographer\, Alan Edington
