More Transforming Culture

More on the vision of this Transforming Culture Symposium. I encourage you to check this out. Ie especially like the last paragraph. Below is from the transforming culture website.

“When TIME magazine compiled a list of the one hundred most significant people in twentieth-century art and entertainment there were only five who had shown any public signs of Christian faith.” - Steve Turner, journalist, poet, Imagine: A Vision for Christians in the Arts
This symposium will bring together pastors, church leaders and artists to discuss the Church’s relation to the arts and to artists. We will focus our discussion on three areas:
1) art and the worship of the Church
2) artists and the community of the Church
3) art and the mission of the Church in the renewal culture

If you are interested in exploring the ways in which we can encourage a more theologically informed, biblically grounded, liturgically sensitive, artistically alive and missionally shrewd vision for the Church and the arts, then we welcome you join us April 1-3, 2008 for a lively and enriching conversation.

I'm interested. I went to the website, but I couldn't find anything about the symposium. Do you have to sign up for it?

Hey neighbor. I think if you go to registration on the website, you can do it online. It looks like the early bird is before Dec 31. It is kind of expensive, but looks really cool. I am glad that you are interested.

Whoops. I just realized what I did wrong. The website is actually www.transformingculture.org. Sorry about that.
