Imagine the Apostles at Pentecost, ­gabbling away about the wonderful work of God to a multicultural crowd of Parthians, Medes, Elamites, Mesopotamians, Judaeans, Cappadocians, Pontian Greeks, Asians, Phrygians, Pamphylians, Egyptians, Libyans, Romans, Cretans, Arabians and Jews, all “amazed and in doubt” to discover that they understand every word. Some ­cynics suggest that it’s just the wine talking, until Peter – always the practical one – replies that the Apostles can’t possibly be drunk, “seeing it is but the third hour of the day”. I was reminded of Peter’s practicality standing in Nicholas Pope’s Herefordshire studio in front of his larger than life-sized sculpture of Peter the Rock. Sculptors are practical people
