[Brehm Center @brehmcenter]

How can a church learn to respect the voices of artists? This is one of the topics we will tackle during the 2020/2021 Brehm Residency for churches and artists. https://t.co/y73kYSfgiC

[Brehm Center @brehmcenter]

During the Brehm Residency we help equip churches and artists to see the creative process as prophetic. These prophetic voices are important as we seek to walk justly. Get more information about the Brehm Residency starting in October. https://t.co/MSxUFOUqsZ

If your ministry leaders haven’t started the conversation about racism, now is the time: https://t.co/SYpNEZCo3y

[Brehm Center @brehmcenter]

Art isn’t just beauty. It’s also truth. When the Church learns to value Artists, the full Story of God can reach people, help them lament and grieve, and also uplift them.
Registration for the Brehm Residency for Artists and Churches is now open. Link in bio.

I spent my July 4 editing, captioning, reflecting on, & better acquainting myself w/ the black artists behind a batch a photos I took last year @artbma. Glenn Ligon's neon sculpture "Untitled (America America)" was foremost in my thoughts. https://t.co/757dpV4k7j

Might public art have a vital role to play during an economic recession? History suggests yes. "The Federal Art Project employed over 10,000 artists across the country, and sought to bring art to the broadest public possible." via @alissamarie https://t.co/rIzLkowfT0

“Lament without hope is merely anger; hope without lament is a lie about the present. Art that is truly prophetic—that both laments and hopes—will be a unique offering to a heartbroken world that has forgotten to sing such songs.”—@james_ka_smith https://t.co/Osk1qvmZR5

[Ekstasis Magazine @EkstasisMag]

During my first years in the city, Tim Keller said to me, “Many Christians move to the city because they think the city needs them, but they don’t know they actually need the city.” I have found this to be so true.

[Victoria Emily Jones @artandtheology]

Vincent van Gogh's paintings are profoundly spiritual, full of praise and yearning. @ACarrollPoet, @marilynmcentyre, and @jmurraywalker have each paid tribute to the artist in a poem that distills his life and work. @makers_mystics https://t.co/MpbmTMu0mn

[W. David O. Taylor @wdavidotaylor]

I didn’t grow up in a church tradition that talked about justice. In fact, I don’t recall a single sermon or song that addressed God’s heart for justice. It wasn’t until I began to study the Psalms that I discovered how important justice was to my faith. https://t.co/FAbRWYkf70

[Fuller Seminary @fullerseminary]

Fuller, in the strongest of terms, denounces the senseless, brutal killing of George Floyd and the countless instances of abuse and othering of black and brown bodies in a long line of systemic injustice. https://t.co/UcCxNrd31Q

Part creative workshop, part arts festival, part spiritual retreat, the Glen is, above all, an ongoing experiment in creativity and community. For the first time in our history, that experiment is going online!

[W. David O. Taylor @wdavidotaylor]

Next Wednesday I get to talk about the psalms with @Sandramccracken in our first mini-concert hosted by @cicw & @brehmcenter. Mark your calendars for May 20 at 8 PM CST. How do the psalms help us to reckon with the experiences of suffering & loss b/c of this pandemic? Stay tuned!
