Synopsis

Why the arts, in church, today? What are the benefits and pitfalls? How can we plan for success? Who can help? Practical and inspiring: The Arts in Your Church is a much-needed resource for church leaders and lay people alike. Fiona Bond argues that in contemporary culture, we are used to receiving and processing complex information through a combination of image, sound and word. This makes the arts an essential concern for churches seeking to communicate, explore and live their faith in 'the language of our time'. The possibilities are vast and this book gives the tools needed to plan with confidence in a way that is appropriate to your church community. As Fiona Bond encourages the reader: "Exciting and enriching things can happen when churches have the courage, and the discipline, to engage with the arts...I hope that this book will make that process less daunting and even more rewarding." Includes real-life case studies & photographs. 'Exciting and enriching things can happen when churches have the courage, and the discipline, to engage with the arts ...I hope that this book will make that process less daunting and even more rewarding.'
