ARTS

DOES CREATIVITY DRIVE YOU?

We possess the gift of creativity because we bear the image of God.

Art in its many forms is an integral part of what we do as humans and can reflect something of the beauty and truth of God.

Artists at their best are truthtellers and so the arts constitute one important way in which we can speak the truth of the gospel. Drama, dance, story, music and visual image can be expressions both of the reality of our brokenness, and of the hope that is centred in the gospel that all things will be made new. In the world of mission, the arts are an untapped resource. We actively encourage greater Christian involvement in the arts.
