Suffer the little children to come unto me… Mark 10:14
Harold Copping painted an iconic work entitled “Hope of the World” in 1914. Among other things, he travelled to the land of Israel to study the countryside, its towns and people, and produced “The Copping Bible” which was an illustrated Bible. It included a painting of the Lord surrounded by children of different colour and gender. How vital in our age of focus on inclusivity and diversity that we emphasize the universal invitation of the Gospel—for young and old: north and south, east and west. —Brian Powlesland
Jesus loves the little children,
All the children of the world.
