Love Seed: Shadow Rock at North Mountain Brewing - April 2
We meet again at North Mountain Brewery on April 2 at 4:00 pm, to gather our Love Seed fellowship to discuss the fourth affirmation of the Phoenix Affirmations regarding progressive Christianity.
Affirmation 4 is Expressing our love of God includes worship that is as sincere, vibrant, and artful as it is scriptural. Scripture resources for the fourth affirmation include Genesis 2:7; Exodus 31:2-5l; Revelation 18:22
As Christians, we strive to respond to God’s artistry in Creation by integrating the arts in worship, education and proclamation. We encourage the reclaiming of artistry and artistic expression in all Christian endeavors, both personal and communal.
We affirm that the Path of Jesus is found where Christ’s followers make sincere and vibrant worship of God as central to the life of their community as Jesus did. We further affirm artistic expression as a way of reflecting God’s creativity, joy, and prophetic voice in what may be seen, heard, felt, tasted, sung and spoken.
We confess that we have moved away from Christ’s Path when we have failed to make worship the product of our best efforts to experience and express love for God, neighbor and self in community with others. We have moved further from this path when we have considered the arts as trivial or merely tangential to the life of a mature Christian community.
