Faith in the Miraculous has its roots in Coventry. The Coventry Mystery Plays do not only refer to the mysteries of religion but to the mysteries of makers and making. Through the skills of craft guild members, raw materials were transformed into objects of beauty and economic value which enabled the city to survive and adapt. Matthew Raw notes:

“Faith in the Miraculous is an exploration of the act of people coming together to create. What relationships, collaborations, meetings, sharing of thoughts and ideas will this building facilitate? It is the not knowing. It is the chance of it all. The title is there to celebrate this mystery, and optimistically looks to the future, despite the challenges of the present.”
