Joseph and the Spirit
By: Maria Fee Christmas sermons, stories and songs don’t generally focus on Joseph. But then there is the nativity narrative found in Matthew. Because Joseph’s story demonstrates reliance on the provision of God, I must confess my own inability to worship God out of his abundance. Here is a man who must take home a wife who is with child, a child not his ow...

Medium and Message
By: Maria Fee Both religion and the arts provide access to desires and needs that are a part of being human. Will Willimon states how “God continually, graciously, gives himself to us and makes himself available to us through touched, tasted, experienced, visible means.” (Willimon, Worship as Pastoral Care, p. 151) By God’s grace knowledge arrives in man...

Artistic Attentiveness
By: Kenyon Adams So much of our work as artists is bound up in conscious attentiveness. We must pay attention. We pay attention to choices and how they interact in our media, to colors, to light, to tone. Attentiveness leads us to a weary contentment when at last, in the moment of inspiration, our work transcends form and material. The burden of attentiveness becomes the ...

Presence In Writing
By: Anita Kobayashi As a writer, grappling with the writing process every day, I often come across comments like this, “…the work itself – the practice of the craft of writing – must be its own reward”(Dennis Palumbo, Writing from the Inside Out, 53).

Glory Be
By: Kenyon Adams Spend any serious amount of time working in the arts and you’re bound to stumble upon one or two or more moments of glory: a triple turn on point, the high C at 10am finished with a buttery vibrato, the character writing himself into your novel as you sit in your pajamas at midnight surrounded by rough drafts. It’s all too easy to live in the ...

The Church, The Artist and The Handshake
By: Maria Fee “The door handle is the handshake of the building.” Juhani Pallasmaa Like a door knob, what does it signal when a church fosters an arts ministry? Lately, I’ve been reflecting on the shape and form of the arts ministry at Redeemer mainly because I’ve been fortunate to work in such a ministry, but also because I will move on to serv...

Make the Cake and Eat It, Too
By: Maria Fee “Lately, I’ve been thinking about Jesus in the manner of how he is all consuming.” Or, it was something in this vein the artist Melissa Beck articulated during my recent visit to her Pratt studio. Evidence of this statement filled my eyes as I perused one of her utensil pieces: a horizontal band of silver-plated forks happily glue...

Eternal LIFE
By: Kenyon Adams Seeing Werner Schroeter’s grotesque and penetrating film Two at the MoMA’s retrospective of the German filmmaker this week sent me away with a new awareness of the commonality between love and death. Outside the theater after the 117 minute screening one wondered if any of the audience, those who stayed until the end, really got anything out o...
