正文：
Last week, I was in Bruges. We were standing in front of yet another unbelievably stunning painting by the Flemish artist Hans Memling, in a 12th century hospital built specifically for the poor, when my daughter said: "Oh no. Another picture of Jesus. Did they ever paint anything else?"

Which got me thinking: if someone who believes in what's being depicted in these paintings is struggling to connect with their spiritual content, perhaps all this rich culture is obscuring rather than enhancing the story that inspired it. Is it possible to find the original spark of faith in it - or has it been snuffed out by the weight of tradition and history. Could I even spot the difference?

In his recent biography, the former Bishop of Edinburgh - Richard Holloway - identifies this tension when he writes: "My mistake was to think religion was more than human." He goes on: "I was less sure whether God was also just a human invention, but I was sure religion was." As with the art and architecture of Christendom - much of it obviously a human construct - it's sometimes hard to know where God is in it all.
