An intriguing chapter in the history of England's most famous church, these ten pen portraits include the stories of Martin Luther King and Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
In July 1998, ten statues of martyrs of the twentieth century were unveiled surmounting the Great West Door of Westminster Abbey. Ten figures were identified from different continents and different churches: victims of Nazi and Bolshevik oppression, state-sponsored violence, and religious hatred, these images stand as a testimony to the bloodshed of the 20th century. Some, such as Oscar Romero and Martin Luther King, are famed across the world. Others are less known.
On the 25th anniversary of the unveiling ceremony, The Nobel Army offers reflections on each of these ten lives and explores the questions surrounding their choices and tells some of the stories behind them. These statues were intended to represent all those millions of individuals who suffered for their faith in Christ in the twentieth century.
In tribute to, and in solidarity with this contemporary reality, these ten reflections culminate in a chapter on the contemporary reality of Christian marginalisation and persecution, written by Archbishop Bashar Warda of Erbil, Iraq.
