Worship Arts

One thing that I am so passionate about is worship arts! In our congregations are people who have been given talents to paint, dance, sing, sculpt, design...the list could go on. I would bet several of those people have never used their talents in worship. By discovering the gifts that God has given members of the church community and beyond can lead to unbelievable worship experiences! Below are some great sites that can help you discover a whole new world of worship:

Articles on Worship and the Arts on Worshiplinks.com
Worship: The Arts in Worship
A United Methodist Worship resource
The Fellowship of United Methodist in Music and the Worship Arts

The Fellowship of American Baptist Musicians
Ok so this is mainly for musicians, but as some one who attends the conference every year I felt I needed to put it up here.


The Society for the Arts in Religious and Theological Studies: ARTS Magazine
The Arts in Religious and Theological Studies (ARTS) is the journal of The Society for the Arts in Religious and Theological Studies published by the theology and arts program of United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities. Edited by Wilson Yates and Kimberly Vrudny, the journal treats broadly the intersections between theology and the arts. I highly reccomend this journal!!

Michigan Ave. Baptist Church Stained Glass

Most of our churches contain artwork some where. I have started to take photos of Michigan Ave. Baptist Church in Saginaw, MI where my husband is senior pastor. Michigan Ave. has beautiful windows, wood carvings and more. So here are some photos. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do in worship. Please feel free to e-mail me your churches artwork and I will be happy to blog them. Click on the images to view them bigger.

Art History Links/Database

Below are links to Art History Resources on the web. I hope to also add some good art history books as well.
From Kelly:
Art History Resources on The Web
Christopher L. C. E. Witcombe, Professor of Art History at Sweet Briar College, Virginia has put together a very helpful resource that links web resources of Art in Late Antiquity (Early Christian and Byzantine) together in an outline format. Very helpful, check it out.

Galleries

I am going to attempt to break these posts into categories so that they can be easily sort/highlighted on the side of the blog. I will go back and add to each category as time allows weekly.

Dr. He Qi "...ranks as arguably China's most internationally sought after contemporary Christian artist." His brilliant, colorful and highly contemporary paintings emerge unmistakably from ongoing Chinese contexts. - Far Eastern Economic Review
