James Cauty: Church of the Missing Shepherd Victory Windows
Although these images are not stamps, they are taken from the recently completed north vestry of the ‘Church of the Missing Shepherd’ on the Mount Pacco De la Tesco Car Park just outside the City of Cautesea.
Five years in the making, these monumental stained glass windows depict failed 21st century crusades and other misdemeanors that pose the question, ‘Is God Boring ?’. Designed by inmates and long term patients at the Mount Pleasant Postal Rehabilitation facility. The were paid for by friends of Port Slade village hall at a total cost of 99.5 million Cautese dollars and pence.
The central altar piece ‘Victory’ measures 81.48m x 45.86m and weighs 70 tonnes. The left vestry window ‘Kiss My Empire’ weighs 24 tonnes and the right hand ‘God is Boring’ weighs nearly 25.66 tonnes.
The prints, stamps and stickers are smaller, lighter and cheaper .
