The following quotes are so meaty that I will divide this chapter up into a few posts to allow for comments on each group. Pick your favorite to discuss or just mull it over..

 
“...even when we one denies God, to serve music, or painting, or words is a religious activity, whether or not the conscious mind is willing to accept that fact...all true art is incarnational, and therfore 'religious'”. (p. 25)
 
“...a God who allows no pain, no grief, also allows no choice.” (p.25)
 
“We human beings have been given the terrible gift of free will, and this ability to make choices, to help write our own story, even when we make the wrong choices, abusing our freedom and the freedom of others.” (p.26)
 
“...to serve any discipline of art...is to affirm meaning, despite all the ambiuguities and tragedies and misunderstanding which surround us.” (p.27)
 

“It is impossible for an artist to attempt a graphic reproduction of Jesus in any way that is meant to be literal.” (p.28)
 
About the widow who gave the mite: “Her poverty was rich because all she had belonged to the living Lord.” (p.31)
