Arts as Theology Webinars

Starting date

Why is art important for Christian faith and theology? Does art simply illustrate issues of faith or is there something deeper going on?

Join us for three online interviews with four people who are actively involved in the arts and who are passionate about the connection they see between their art and theology. We will hear about the ways that art and theology have been woven together in their life journeys and why they feel so strongly that art should be at the forefront of faith and theological practice and not relegated to the margins as it so often is.

We hope these sessions will open up conversation about the things that matter to us as artists and people of faith. So be ready to bring your questions and share something of your own experience.
