LinkLuv: Art, missions, church

From a website called One News Now, a blurb about Christian educators being involved in cross-cultural ministry. I followed this rabbit trail in a few different directions and still didn’t find the kind of specifics I hoped for, but am linking to it anyway since news like this is so scarce. From Calvin’s website, this quote about the program: “The hope, he said, in sending North American, Christian artists to Indonesia to work with their Asian counterparts was to inspire artists on both continents to express the new global character of Christianity.” I do know that ceramic artist and Wheaton prof David Hooker, whose blog I’ve tracked with for a year or so now, was among the North Americans to be a part of this Nagel Institute excursion.

Arts Pastor ponders the Disciplined Disciple Artist. One of his commenters rightly asks, “How can you teach an artist unless you are also an artist?”

One of David Hooker’s works, in progress.

Paul Nielsen founded The Aesthetic Elevator late in 2005, posting to it for the first time in early 2006. He owns a piece of paper, located somewhere in his house (not on the wall) stating that he earned a B.F.A. in studio art from the University of Nebraska around about 2001. While there, he studied studied architecture, graphic design and ceramics, graduating with a degree in studio art. Paul presently serves as communications manager for a small non-profit doing their print design and marketing. He spends time in his studio as much as possible — which is not nearly enough. His home is in Siloam Springs, Arkansas. Visit his website at http://pcNielsen.com.

    What kind of specifics? Maybe I can help.

    The link I originally found to the posted news item, IIRC, likened the while trip to missions, but I didn’t really see much written in relationship to that. Maybe I just read too quickly, and maybe there are security concerns that prevented the articles from including such details?
