One Island Many Faiths
The Experience of Religion in Britain
Rachel Morton
with a commentary by Alison Seaman
Alan S. Brown
|
Over the last 50 years Britain has gradually evolved from a fairly unicultural nation into one with a multitude of ethnic groups and faiths. It is this significant change that prompted Rachel Morton to tour the country with her camera documenting these diverse religions and their devotees.
From Protestant sects to New Age, from Reform Judaism to Jainism, from Islam to Catholicism, Morton has photographed and interviewed believers at worship. Every picture is accompanied by the peoples’ own words, explaining how they came to their faith and what it means to them. The photographs, reproduced here in duotone, reveal unexpected and inspiring examples of fortitude in belief.
A concise essay by Alison Seaman and Alan S. Brown, members of Shap Working Party on World Religions in Education, clarifies the wide range of religious activity in Britain today.
Rachel Morton has produced an unusual book of hope and fulfilment. |
