I know that many artists think the church (particularly the Baptist variety) has little place for their contribution. Yet it seems to me that ministry relies on the arts. I am reminded of Craig Barnes', 'The pastor as minor poet' (Eerdmans, 2009). I have always been struck by the use of the arts in the theological work of Paul Fiddes, Richard Kidd and even NT Scholars such as Sean Winter (to name only a few). My hat is off to the many art-lovers on this blog but particularly to Jim Gordon, Clare McBeath and Tim Presswood.
