We want to identify artists in our midst.
We want to do that because we want to affirm and acknowledge God’s gift of the arts amongst us; the beauty and creativity that has often struggled to be expressed amongst us.
There are three parts to this.
- Please respond to the following form.
- Please comment or modify what we have crafted here.
- Please be patient as it will take until October to set up the Arts component to our web site.
There are five outcomes:
To acknowledge the Arts as God’s gift.
To make art and artists in its many forms, facets, and people an integral part of our worship and celebration in the Baptist Union.
To create an online network of artists, their mediums of expression and especially how we might share in this work together.
To encourage and strengthen the practise, experience and work of artists in their God – given callings.
We long to rediscover our historic culture of Christians by expressing the aesthetic and artistic amongst us. This culture change in our midst builds country, branches our lives and honours God.
We hope to move towards a net based or fixed site lending library.
We also are praying about one day getting a retreat or farm dedicated to this endeavour.
Enough for now.
Warmly,
In Christ,
Jeremy Bell
