Research projects
As well publishing 'Art & Christianity' quarterly ACE undertakes regular research projects.
English Cathedrals and the Visual Arts, by Tom Devonshire Jones and Graham Howes, reports on the varied initiatives made in recent years by England's Anglican Cathedrals in commissioning and exhibiting art.
Published by ACE in November 2005 this analysis of answers to a questionnaire sent to each Dean and Chapter in England reveals every region's differing approaches. These give encouragement to artists and to churches to explore further the possibilities now open. Originally a report to the Arts Council of England, this book is essential reading for all concerned with the public art opportunities afforded by places of worship.

1] Graham Carey of West Yorkshire writes:
"I am an artist currently writing about a new expression of the idea of non-violence that is much needed as a distinct and more general category than pacifism, a word which suggests passivity. I would be pleased to hear from anyone else who attempts to create — or can refer me to — imagery that currently addresses this theme."
