Wiggle Room

By: Maria Fee Indeed, there are times when artists lament how job pressures keep them from true creativity. We don’t always possess the luxury of pursuing interests, concerns, or longings. Instead we are given assignments, commissions, and roles to embody. We must pay bills, make deadlines. Therefore, reality spurs motivating factors besides predilection to rouse ar...

Becoming Fully Human

All of us desire greatness because we were made great; we were created with the image of God. Yet sin has shrunken our souls and turned us into a fraction of the men and women that God would have us be. In this sense, Jesus was the first truly human being. He demonstrates what we would be like if we lived without the sin that cripples us. And Jesus ca...

To Dance With God

By: Kenyon Adams It takes a lot of imagination to be a Christian. If I believe Christ, then I am one with him just as he is one with the Father and the Spirit, yet they are three persons in one. Still more, if I am in Christ I have been brought into the Trinity itself, that whirling pas de trois of the three-in-one which the early church fathers called peri...

Body Life

By: Maria Fee Kenyon and I have written various times on this arts blog concerning the artist’s role towards undoing the mind-body separation evident in our society. We happen to believe that the aesthetics can mobilize and connect Christian being and doing. This is why the programming at InterArts Fellowship relies just as much on its artis...

Body Life

By: Kenyon Adams My wife Emily is a person who genuinely loves life. She is apt to make faces at babies on the subway and gasp with joy at the first appearance of spring in Central Park. Historically, I’ve been suspicious of such optimism, but I am finding myself challenged to further examine the source of this hopeful outlook. The more I seek the more I find t...

The Fear of Miracles

i. You must have had your own dreams the life you always thought you’d lead the roads you wanted to follow the secret victories But God sent you an angel with his monster’s wings heavy with heaven’s incense blue and red, gold and green And when he finished speaking this world had turned unreal the walls around you paper the sky itsel...
