Spirituality and Creativity

March 27, 2007

Over the next while the bulk of my writings will center around Spirituality & Creativity.

I just finished teaching a four-week series on the topic and I hope to offer readers a glimpse into it, while fleshing out more of the thoughts and experiences that arose.

Together (that means you), I hope to explore with you how Spirituality & Creativity relate, how they necessitate one another, as well as biblical foundations, and some practical expressions of our God-given creativity.

If we are created in the image and likeness of the Creator, then we too are creative beings. How is it that followers Jesus are more known for conformity and standardization than the revolutional and innovative ways of Christ?

I think we’ve focused on th “following” part more than the revolutional part.

Parke, thanks for the links, i will definitely check them both out… on that note, i’m trying to pinpoint in my mind your role in the city of voices here… you’re like the local networker and town reviewer… you’re awesome.

Deana, that’s an interesting thought i need to mull over… following sounds like quite the audacious thing already, to think that it too might be less than how we ought to live, is just a crazy idea!
