Art, haloes not included
Got this from the good folks over at *culture is not optional:
"What is Christian in art does not lie in the theme, but in the spirit of it, in its wisdom and the understanding of reality it reflects. Just as being a Christian does not mean going round singing hallelujah all day, but showing the renewal of one's life by Christ through true creativity, so a Christian painting is not one in which all the figures have haloes and (if we put our ears to the canvas) can be heard singing hallelujahs."

What a great quote! *culture is not optional looks like a fantastic site. I just signed up for some of their newsletters.
Cool, Marcus. They happen to be CCO friends. Not sure how we know them but they come to Jubilee every year.
