Kit McDermott, Spiritual Formation Catalyst for Imagine Northampton, has written a blog post for Origins entitled, "Can Art Be Kingdom Missional and Remain Art?"
Here is an excerpt: "I need to say the art I will refer to is never deliberately formulaic, cheesy, kitschy, propagandist, corny, mediocre, contrived, simplistic, maudlin, commercially-driven or “the Emperor’s new clothes.” Kingdom missional art will be able to stand on its own merit as art: thoughtful, well-executed, perhaps as good as anyone’s art in the world. It will be a product of skill, even mastery, careful thought and hard work. It will be of substance, even if it makes you laugh."
McDermott fleshes out six aspects of art that reflects the Missio Dei. It is good content for conversation. Read the post here.
