Art
and 'The Message'
Appearances can deceive, even where matters of faith are concerned.
We may think that we are being courageous by using our art to boldly
proclaim the name and centrality of Jesus Christ when in fact we
could be motivated by fear. How can this be? After all, if all of
our life is to be Christ-affirming, shouldn't everything we 'create'
be so too? Originally published in Southern Cross (Anglican
Information Office, Sydney, Australia) February 1989
