Art Exhibition on Christian Persecution Opens in Oxford
The 'Art of Persecution', a new exhibition of art work examining the phenomenon of Christian persecution opens this week in Oxford and is set to lift the lid on the widespread persecution faced by Christians around the world.
Organised by Open Doors, an international charity which supports Christians facing persecution, the exhibition contains over 50 pieces of art by artists ranging from professionals, to complete amateurs and even children.
The collection emanated from a challenge made by Open Doors for artists to explore "the cost of belief in Christ paid by many present day Christians, who share your faith but not your freedom".
The exhibition including paintings, collages, sculptures, poetry and songs is on display at St Aldates Church, between 28 February and 4 March.
