Study Guide

Mission-driven art

Art holds a special place in human expression. More than simply passing along information, it also conveys human experience and deep emotions—sorrow, love, passion, anger, longing, joy, hope and so much more. Art captures—in visual images, musical notes, in words, in sculpture and other media—what it means to be a human being. Is it any wonder that art can help us understand more fully our shared religious experiences? In doing so, it helps fulfill the church’s mission—to bring people more deeply into the faith and help them walk the path of discipleship.
