Title: The Church of Christ in Every Age I
Media: watercolor on Nidiggen paper
Size of original: 13 x 25 inches
Author: Fred Pratt Green
Copyright: Hope Publishing

Fred Pratt Green (1903 - 2000) served many Methodist churches across England.�Upon retirement in 1967, he served on a committee planning a hymn and song supplement to the Methodist hymnal. This triggered his own interest in writing and so launched a 2nd career resulting in nearly 300 hymns. He is considered one of the most important hymnists in the 20th century (since Charles Wesley). His writes of the redemptive power of God's love.

This hymn, written in 1968, cautions the church about being blind to the injustice, hunger and hopelessness around us, calls the church to be a servant church, to partner in Christ's sacrifice and be clothed in Christ's humanity. Our mission is to serve our Lord, care for all and spread his liberating word.

My fascination with the power of ‘thoughts made visible’ and the mystery of the word as a vehicle of communication has led me on a wonderful journey as I merge message and technique with watercolor, brush and pen into a finished piece. Each piece brings exploration, inspiration and discovery — on a concrete level as I work with my tools and experience; on a spiritual level as a passionate heart treasures God. My response to life’s journey is to work with words, be inspired by great texts, express the abstract more tangibly and ... listen ... for God's still, small, gentle voice within the cacophony of the ups and downs, joys and sorrows experienced. In this relationship God comes transforming, with hope-full and wonderful surprises!
