This video presentation focuses on the importance of art and design in church settings, particularly in enhancing worship, teaching, and community engagement. It focuses on the key themes of:

• Creativity as Language, helping individuals access their inner truth and express emotions, spirituality, and personal stories.

• Historical Role of Art in the Church: used, especially iconography, to communicate biblical stories and spiritual truths, particularly for congregations with limited literacy.

• Modern Church and Art: In addition to spoken and written communication, the speaker suggests that there is room for artistic/creative communication, especially forms that reflect the diversity of today’s congregations.

Ultimately, this session calls on congregational leaders to embrace visual and creative expression as integral parts of communications, teaching, and outreach. Artistic expression can help deepen communication and spiritual engagement.
