Square Halo Books
By: Maria Fee Today I am going to share with you an interview I conducted with Ned Bustard, Creative Director of Square Halo Books, Inc. Q: First things first, please explain to me the significance of your company name. Ned: In church art there are round halos, triangular halos and square halos. The square halo was for people who were living saints. It was...

Baptizing the Imagination
By: Alison Lytton What do The Dark Knight, songs by indie rock musician Bon Iver, and slam poetry have in common? They’re all artwork with which the Gotham Alumni interacted during our third annual retreat over the Columbus Day weekend entitled, “Baptizing the Imagination: the Unlikely Conversion of C.S. Lewis.” Through large group lectures, lively Q&...

Missing the Mark
By Kenyon Adams Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang up and I died. Romans 7:9 I like to say I got into acting on a fluke, but I believe God wanted me to be an actor so that I would become more like Him and that through my work others would see what Christ has done. In my pursuit of each character I discover that God i...

The Art of Suffering
By Maria Fee I said to my soul, be still, and wait without hope For hope would be hope for the wrong thing; wait without love For love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith But the faith and the love and the hope are all in the waiting. Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought: So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the da...

The Artists Role As Connector
By: Maria Fee Last April’s InterArts Fellowship, entitled “The Artist as Cultivator,” sought to investigate the connections between art and prayer. Without too much explanation we hoped the art–in the form of dance, song, music, and poetry, would lead some to prayerful ruminations. But, we also longed to portray the beauty of prayer. One of the ...

When Life Doesn’t Stop
“In creating, the only hard thing’s to begin; a grass-blade’s no easier to make than an oak." James Russell Lowel I have lived with an idea for a book for over eight years. Of course the inspiration hit me just as I became pregnant for our first son – right at the dawn of a new age of monumental time consumption. But over the years of ...

Our Story
By Maria Fee Artists in the Church need to develop a theory of art informed by the bible in order to return to the world a profound story. With society’s loss of the meta-narrative contemporary lives feel detached, humanity’s significance seems to have diminished, we have forgotten what it means to be human. Despite how the power of God’s story has shape...

The Dialogue Continues
Kenyon Adams A friend of mine tells a story of a woman he loved and lost to a terminal illness. He recalls how he strove to make her last days so full of life. She dreamed of going to Italy, and because it was clear she would never make it there he transformed her hospital bedroom into a living Italian montage complete with a gondola! He painted the walls with scenes from...

Walking With Christ
Maria Fee Reading Roberto Goizueta’s Caminemos Con Cristo (we shall walk with Christ) startled me into realizing how much my own theology of work aimed folks solely towards kingdom transformation in our world. To be sure, this is a good and a worthy project, but Goizueta has reminded me how social transformation is not our end and purpose. In Genesis, God deems huma...

Passion
Maria Fee The inclination to do good, whether it is conquering a creative technique or a particular ski slope, falls under the realm of the aesthetics. Aesthetics, therefore, relies on desire, this in turn, incites us towards action. This is one of the theories William Dyrness works with in his latest book, Poetic Theology. Here, Dyrness relates how it takes human passion...
