The Reality of Abundance
On the table of pine Stood a tiny Bowl of Blackberries You poured into it the whitest cream. In the corner her tail Wrapped around her tiny body As herself she did softly clean. Outside on the lawn Gently blowing the linen Almost as if it were a dream. And in the porcelain sink My sorrows deep. Pulled the drain and I sent t...

John 20: The Second Gardener
Maria Fee In the beginning God affirmed matter and set into the cosmos a generative force that allows for both, beauty and sustainability. Yet the fall obscures our perception of his world; lost is our view of the garden. Our need for glory somehow trumps the Triune God’s. Thus, tarnished by brokenness, we no longer see God or the world rightly. This is one re...

The Deep Places: Accessibility and Responsibility
Kenyon Adams As artists we have access to a key environment in the structure of a human being. Nigel Goodwin calls it "your belly". Martha Graham calls it "your center". Aretha Franklin calls it "my soul" and King David called it "my innermost being". This deep place exists between dreaming and waking where we are most ourselves, in...

Culture as Liturgy
Christians engaged in cultural renewal need to be cognizant of how cultural practices viscerally shape our desires. We are not disembodied brains who view the world with a detached intellectualism. We are shaped by the cultural spaces we inhabit and the cultural habits we practice. Unless we realize what subliminal messages these cultural liturgies are send...

The Artist As Cultivator
Maria Fee In Andy Crouch’s, Culture Making, Christians are encourage to take up the posture of cultivation. Kenyon and I have proceeded to use the term cultivator as one of the various roles of the Christian artist. Tonight at InterArts Fellowship we venture one step further and will highlight the relationship between prayer and cultivation in the life of the artist...

Irresistible Mystery
Kenyon Adams This Easter season we share the benefit of hindsight as we reflect upon Christ's death. We behold the spectacle of God's shameless love, his inordinate response to our need for rescue and reconciliation. And yet, those who were most expectant of a rescue in Jerusalemexperienced instead the disaster of his trial and crucifixion, the scattering of...

Art Matters for God's Sake
Art is of enormous consequence. It can transform our world. Art has the potential to awaken our imagination and show us worlds that we had not previously dreamed. Art can give us hope when the world seems hopeless. Art provides us with stories through which we make sense of the world. Yet, despite these artistic gifts, artists often go unnoticed by ou...

Why We Need Artists
By: Timothy Keller Why does the Church and why does Christianity need artists? While we have artists because they have the ability to see the greater reality, we need artists because… we can’t understand truth without art. You see, reason tells me about the truth, but I really cannot grasp what it means; I can’t understand it without art. Jonathan ...

The Creative Spark
The LORD said to Moses, “See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with ability and intelligence, with knowledge and all craftsmanship, to devise artistic designs, to work in gold, silver, and bronze, in cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, to work in every craft. ...

Fashionable Beauty
By: Maria Fee I recently posed the question to a group of artists, why does art matter to God? To my surprise, only one respondent employed the word beauty. Beauty is, forgive the term, out of fashion. Indeed, Crispin Sartwell surmises that the declined value of beauty has much to do with its association concerning pleasure. Sartwell asserts that beauty arouses ...
