Come along and explore this work of art that unites an ancient Benedictine tradition with the technology and vision of today, and immerse yourself in its exquisite beauty as we proudly showcase the fine art, limited heritage edition acquired by the University.
This event is hosted by ACU's Mission and Ministry Directorate in partnership with the ACU Library and will feature an online talk by Mr Tim Ternes, Director of the Saint John's Bible followed by guided imagery discussions to ignite the spiritual imagination of people of all faith journeys.
