1 Used here to mean an inappropriate mixing of Christianity with paganism or another religion. 2 Defined here as the wise use of culture and
local context to express some aspect of biblical Christianity. 3 Although the term “form” has a broader meaning, I use it here to mean a cultural
expression such as a type of song, ritual, poem, dance, visual art, or other artistic expression.

“David Taylor deserves kudos for an engaging and mature book on art’s place in
the church. His contributors show a sane appreciation for creativity in the church.
It’s hard to read their words without wondering how one’s own congregation
might benefit from a more robust commitment to beauty.”—Christianity Today

Somehow the pigeons find a foothold in
the city, on precarious ledges, hidden
in nooks and crannies. Like-wise the
poor. And in the process they cling to
their dignity in the most depraving of
conditions. We welcome the pigeons,
in fact feed them. Yet the poor we
forcibly drive out from our cities. Our
attempts to ‘modernize,’ ‘beautify,’
and build a ‘world-class city’ results in
the poor being displaced to the city’s
edges and their street-level livelihoods
declared illegal. If we recognize their
inherent dignity and sanctity would we
not build a city friendly to both pigeon
and poor?

Genocide Site, Ntarama, Rwanda.
The genocide sites throughout Rwanda are all
kept intact, with skeletal remains unburied. In this Catholic Church site where over
5,000 were killed, someone - I presumed a
loved one - took the time to wrap his or
her beloved’s head with a head scarf. When
asked how he was able to cope with the death
of more than 20 family members, one person
told me: “We learn to forgive, because we
must. But we never forget, for if we forget,
then this will happen again. We forgive, but
we never forget.”
Jinja Uganda
I turned around and saw this young
girl, dressed in a confection of ruffles, braced behind a cross-shaped
barricade. I held my breath, took
the shot, and prayed the Lord would
protect this roll of film. Notice the
nails...
Outside Jinja, Uganda
“Thumbs Up” seems to be a common
sign, even in Uganda, for “everything’s good.” The tour director kept
yelling for me to get in the van, but
I had to get a few more shots. This
might be one of my favorites. I’m
glad I ignored him.

S
ince the Reformation, Protestantism has shied away from the arts, often out of a fear
of idolatry. But many Christians are now rediscovering their creativity, realizing we are
designed to create, to mirror the One who is the greatest Creator. Others lament Christianity’s
feeble influence on the broader culture. Where once all the great Western artists, writers and
musicians were Christian, what passes for Christian art, literature and music now is often soft
and sentimental. Being made in the image of God includes a call to create. Being called into
the world includes a necessity to thoughtfully engage the culture.
Regent College recognizes the importance of the arts as an expression of human creativity.
The Christianity and the Arts concentration offers students the opportunity to integrate
various forms of art with the Christian faith. Building on a foundational course in aesthetics
(The Christian Imagination), students may choose from a diverse selection of courses in
literature, poetry, music, visual arts and dance. The course mixture is further enriched by Regent’s
own Lookout Gallery, performance space both in Regent’s main auditorium and atrium and by
the presence in Vancouver of many Christian artists who are associated with Regent College.

Joyce Scott worked as a missionary in Kenya for twenty-eight years; her last twelve
were with twelve language groups, encouraging the composition of indigenous songs
for worship, evangelization and Scripture teaching.
Scott, a founding member of the International Council of Ethnodoxologists, has consulted on indigenous music in eight African countries and lectured in Inter-Cultural Music
for Ministry at several universities and Bible colleges. Her latest book, Moving Into
African Music (PreText Publishers, 2009) helps missionaries use music in their ministry.

Greg Kernaghan has served with Operation Mobilization (OM) since 1978 in various
capacities. Eleven years with OM ships Logos and Doulos and nine years based in
Finland taught him to look beyond labels and methodologies to discover moments
wherein God connects with people. Since 1995, Greg has been part of an international communications team for OM whose purpose is to help truly great stories to tell
themselves. His favorite airport is Toronto because that means he’s home again.

1 Ko-zong means Zong mountain. Many years ago Kuo speakers from Chad who name their villages after mountains migrated there. Today after many
generations, they speak mainly the related language Karang. 2 During our sabbatical year I had left copies of the Gospel of Luke in nineteen different locations.
The Karang revisers, of whom one is Saw-in, were to review the first edition and have revisions ready for us when we came back. In general they did a great job.
As a side issue I asked them to write Scripture songs too - this is where Saw-in put most of his efforts. 3 These monster crickets are annoying creatures that
dig tunnels in the ground and only come to the entrance at night to start their ear piercing mating call. If you try to locate them they quickly zip back into
their burrows. If one is next to your house, you can’t sleep. Banana, our cat, would eat them for us. With a flashlight and shovel we would go out at 7PM and dig
out the foot-deep-tunnels and Banana waited until the antenna were in sight then pounce. It was a regular ritual to guarantee a good night sleep.

These are of a mural project in Mathare Valley in Nairobi. In our 2008 Diaspora of Hope project with the Inspiration Centre, the children were asked to do a series of murals on hope. The one image is “the world as it is”. It shows the violence and flood that occurred
months before our arrival and subsequent work with local artists and the Centre staff. The second image, “the would as it could
be” asked the children to imagine a Nairobi as they would like to see it. So I have two images without children, and two images with
children. The one has a child pretending to jump in the city pool.

FROM ISOLATION
TO COMMUNITY
1 The business world would call us a community of practice —“a group of people informally
bound together by shared expertise and passion for a joint enterprise… Communities of
practice can drive strategy… solve problems, promote the spread of best practices, develop
people’s professional skills, and help [organizations] recruit and retain talent” (E. Wenger
and W. Snyder, “Communities of Practice: The Organizational Frontier,” Harvard Business
Review, 2/22/2000).
