The Place Within: 'God exists within us not so we can stifle Him in the narrow confines of our human spirit; God is within us to tear us away from ourselves toward His supernatural transcendence'

IT'S TIME!

“We have no Christian aesthetic – no Christian philosophy of the arts. The church as a body has never made up her mind about the arts…She has, of course, from time to time, puritanically denounced the arts as irreligious and mischievous, or tried to exploit the arts as a means to the teaching of religion and morals…and there have been plenty of writers on aesthetics who happened to be Christians, but they seldom made any consistent attempt to relate their aesthetic to the central Christian dogmas.” (D. L. Sayers, Towards a Christian Aesthetic, Christian Letters to a Post-Christian World).
