Book excerpt: "Real art for worship has no patterns to follow, no slick tricks, nothing to mimic or adapt to your local congregational space. It has no guarantees. Real art rises from interior places that require intense search, many failures, a reaching toward that which has never been done or said in quite that way before. This is its prophetic edge. The time and materials and spirit it takes to develop an artist's capacities to dream are extraordinary. What does our church do to support such a person? Do we not need to demand the same level of prayerful, disciplined formation from our artists as we do from our priests or pastors? Painter and textile artist Nancy Chinn invites you to accompany her in a wide-ranging, vigorous discussion about art for worship--from theory to technicque and from philosophy to practice."--Cover.
