JANE WILLIS is Vicar of the Chittleleigh Group of Parishes in North Devon, and currently studying for an MA in Christian Spirituality at Sarum College. She has recently written on Thomas Merton’s use of photography, and is (almost) never without a camera in her hand. She is also a member of the Simeon Community, an intentional dispersed community of prayer. ADRIAN CHATFIELD is Director of the Simeon Centre for Prayer and the Spiritual Life, prays better on the move than when he’s still, has been a photographer for many years, and only recently discovered that the camera is a wonderful instrument for encountering God.
