Art and Faith

September 26, 2011 Posted by Ginger Ciminello Purpose, Questions

I’m thrilled to be back in Texas this week meeting with a motivated group of students. We are exploring relevance, faith, culture, and art.  (Get excited.)  When I started explaining the topic to my husband he was less than enthusiastic- at first!  But rather than spend five hours talking about specific works of art, my desire is to raise questions about our response to culture.

Here’s the quote that got the ball rolling:

“There is nothing so secular that it cannot be sacred, and that is one of the deepest messages of the Incarnation.” – Madeleine L’Engle

I don’t have time to turn this into a lengthy series, but I wanted to direct some questions your way.  Feel free to respond in the comment section or to just answer for yourself.  I think our responses to this question DO matter.  So…

What was your first reaction to L’Engle’s quote?  Do you agree with her statement?

sec·u·lar/ˈsekyələr/

Noun: A secular priest.
Adjective: Denoting attitudes, activities, or other things that have no religious or spiritual basis.

sa·cred Adjective/ˈsākrid/

1. Connected with God (or the gods) or dedicated to a religious purpose and so deserving veneration: “sacred rites”.
2. Religious rather than secular.

in·car·na·tionNoun/ˌinkärˈnāSHən/

1. A person who embodies in the flesh a deity, spirit, or abstract quality: “Rama was Vishnu’s incarnation on earth”.
2. (in Christian theology) The embodiment of God the Son in human flesh as Jesus Christ. 
Happy Pondering. 🙂
Following,
Ginger
