The comic implications of this possibility tell of the divide that separates the ancient passions of material craft from the today's anaesthetised networks. The church remains one of the few places where a telephone cannot be found. Even to atheists, the presence an overheard projector or an amplifier in the still space of worship can seem sacrilegious. Two recent ecclesiastical commissions suggest otherwise.
Technology figures in both as a contemporary response to traditional religious ideas.
The Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus was founded by the Italian nun Frances Cabrini. In 1958 Archbishop Mannix invited her order to Melbourne and they established Cabrini hospital. The craft team had previously worked together on St James church in Sydney, where Wright was responsible for a window representing creation. This time, he is responsible for the other side of the equation. The Cabrini order determined that Unity in Diversity was the theme for the commission.
