How should Christians relate to storytelling?

These days Christians are confused about the role of art. What good is it for a church person to spend his lifetime painting pictures or writing prose when he could be earning money or serving in mission? What point is there in us engaging in art when it is so difficult to understand? Today, we will introduce the track as well as asking the key question of how art functions both inside and outside of the church.

Today we will consider what the Bible has to say about visual art followed by a session to help us to engage with visual art in today’s world by painter Craig Jefferson (work available to view in the HUB). There will be lots of time for discussion and questions.
