I love this Icon of John the Baptist, painted by Pam, my wife in a week long guided course. It shows John as a virile young man, which he would have been at the time of his death, so takes us away from the elderly, wild creature that it is easy to imagine from the Biblical description of him. For me, this icon is the epitome of the sort of person who would have delivered the messages of the ‘ancient prophetic voice'.
As of Old, the prophetic voice
As of old, a Prophetic Voice
Goes unheeded by many, through choice;
Now with prophets arrested
Our leaders attested
Their shocking pro-fossil-fuel ploys.
Mid-October 2023 and Greta Thunberg is arrested for joining a Climate change protest in London.
