A sense of the Holy in the life of men and women
A review of Episcopal Church and Visual Arts web site by Peter Menkin in The Examiner:
The visitor gets a picture, an artist’s statement, and the opportunity to look at, learn from, and enjoy this Episcopal Church USA sense of the Holy, the statement on God in the life of men and women, in what is a unique and impressive display of interest in Church and aesthetics. The website says its work is at the intersections of art and faith. Their membership and interests consists of, “…artists, clergy, musicians, cathedrals, and congregational art groups. An e-newsletter provides inspiration, artist profiles, and news of calls and exhibitions.”Located in New York City on Second Avenue, their current exhibition is called, “Recognitions,” and it is described this way, in a statement that is uniquely an impressive display at the intersection of art and faith. This writer thinks most readers will agree that the works are revealing efforts of faith, that this description fits the bill as intersection:
Having traced the shape of our mortality, fallibilities, and fumblings—of both our failed attempts at self-sufficiency and ego-mind habits which alienate and drain, we recognize the truth of Christ’s summons. And so we dare enter the journey, humbly putting on his story as our own as we did at our baptisms.
ECVA is a partner with Episcopal Café and we could not be more proud of our association with the inspiring and excellent art and artists.
