The term ‘imagination’ gets a mixed press, seen by some as an escape, a distraction or a dark hole.  This eclipses the undoubted significance of the imagination in everything from medical research to writing fiction.

It has also a major role to play in the development of faith, not only because a substantial part of Scripture is imaginative writing (prophecies, parables etc), but also because the imagination helps us to unlock depths of meaning which the intellect cannot offer. In addition to this, meditation often engages us in moving beyond the confines of the known in order to discover truths and affirmation which have been evading us.
