A World of Religious Art in New York

The Christian Science Monitor has an article on the new Museum of Biblical Art in New York city. Some believe this marks a distinct difference in the secular world's view of religious art.

"To an art world deeply skeptical of religious sentiment, the paintings displayed at the Museum of Biblical Art here must seem startling. The fact that this newly opened museum exists in New York at all signifies a change in the compass that orients how art is viewed."

u2: Talking 'Bout Religion Again

In a reference to the previous U2 post; I was fortunate enough to stumble across this post by a good friend of mine at his photo blog. He's a photojournalist and videographer for the missions organization CRM.
He's posted some of the photos he's taken from the recent U2 tour and also a small video of what Bono had to say about his interaction with the Pope.

Spiritual Revolution in Our Time:

U2 and the Spiritual Revolution.



If any of you have not checked out MacLaurin Institute audio archives yet, run over there and check them out.

The most recent I listened to was so keenly insightful about the direction our culture is going I am tempted to make hard copies for our web uninitiated friends.

The speaker is Andrew Fellows from the L'Abri Fellowship.

I believe this gentleman is describing something of farther reaching implications than we might presently be able to see on the surface.

Do not be fooled by the ambiguous title referencing U2. This is not a mere music critique. Its better described as an evaluation of the tides of culture as manifested by their expression in the cultural art forms.

For those of you with the freedom to peruse online, go look this one up! I highly recommend a listen.
