Nicky Nichols
Nicky’s exuberant paintings of
her London are all the more
remarkable since she paints mostly
with her fingers as the result of
disability. Nicky was homeless for
36 years following an abusive and
traumatic childhood and it was her
late discovery of her gift as an artist
which has led to the wonderful
creativity of her images.

LIVING
RECONCILIATION
PART TWO
In our Lent Course we
reflected on the costly nature
of reconciliation – of listening to
people who have harmed us, or
seem very different from us. But
the questions remain… “What
next? What does this mean for
me? What does this mean for
us as a cathedral community?”
During Pentecost we go
deeper and think about living
reconciliation in practice.
The sessions will take place on
the following Sundays with
these themes
24 May
The Risk of Reconciliation –
The Very Reverend Andrew Nunn
