EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a priest dressed in a flowing black cloak stands before the massive oak door of St. Editha's Church in Church Eaton, Staffordshire, England. The year is 1989, and the 80s are drawing to a close. The priest, with a solemn expression on his face, holds a large key in his hand, poised to unlock the door. The keys dangle from a ring, their metal gleaming in the dim light. The door, adorned with intricate carvings, appears to be old and heavy, a testament to the centuries of history enshrined within the church walls. The priest's cloak billows out behind him, adding a sense of drama to the scene. The atmosphere is one of reverence and anticipation, as if the priest is about to usher in a new beginning or reveal a sacred secret. The image captures the essence of the Christian faith, with its emphasis on tradition, community, and the passage of time. The photograph also speaks to the importance of security and protection, as the priest's act of unlocking the door serves as a reminder that even in the face of uncertainty, there is always a place of refuge and solace to be found. This powerful image, taken by photographer Philip Dunn, is a testament to the enduring allure of religious institutions and the role they play in our lives.
