substanceThe two worlds of church and art find themselves mutually wary, sometimes even hostile, often with little understanding or appreciation of one another.  Verbal theology has been given ultimate significance in the Western church. Visual theology is met with lack of understanding and trust.  Based on themes in “The Substance of Things Seen” by seminar leader Robin Jensen, we will spend time in conversation about the ways art and faith can challenge and enrich each other,  in the hope that visual theology will become  a valued and equal guide into the mysteries of God.
