Mgr. Keith Barltrop, Director, Catholic Agency to Support Evangelisation (CASE), UK wrote the following about Elizabeth Wang and Radiant Light, the movement she founded,
It has often been said that the difficulty modern people have with faith is not so much about the arguments for or against it, but with the difficulty of imagining God's presence in our highly secularised world. The work of Radiant Light is a perfect answer to that problem. Elizabeth Wang's art helps us make "the longest journey", from head to heart, by picturing what this presence might be like in a variety of situations. Radiant Light thus continues the great tradition of the Church from earliest days in using contemporary art to instruct us about God's truth and attract us to his beauty, leading us on to heartfelt adoration and to awareness of his being with us and all people from moment to moment.
In addition to the picture galleries, the Web site contains a selection of writings and meditations by Elizabeth Wang. There is also a section for teachers and catechists who wish to use Radiant Light artwork in their classroom with a lesson plan and suggestions of activities.
