But the iconographer is saying that, despite their differences, the Spirit united them in the work of the mission of God, in making 'a new thing' happen in a world exhausted of hope.A talk for The Festival of Peter and Paul, Apostles, 29 June 2025.Referencing the icon The Embrace of the Apostles Peter and Paul by Tamara Rigishvili, https://www.tamarapaint.com/Icons/Apostles_Peter_and_Paul_Embracing_by_Tamara_Rigishvili.jpg.Find the text to this and all my talks at bit.ly/johndavies-talks
