Orthodixie
By Rachel Harden
THE DEAN of Lincoln Cathedral, Dr Alec Knight, has defended the Lincoln Chapter’s decision to allow parts of The Da Vinci Code to be filmed at the cathedral in August. He said this week that the Chapter “had considered the issue very carefully” before agreeing.
Speaking on Tuesday, Dr Knight said that the Chapter had discussed different approaches to the bestselling novel by Dan Brown, which questions orthodox Christian belief.
He said that there were two main approaches: that the Christian faith should be protected by not entering into the type of debate raised by The Da Vinci Code; or to take the book as an opportunity to proclaim the truth of the gospel.
“We took the latter approach, and filming will take place in August in the nave, chapter house and cloister.”
