"We need the sensitivity of the artist to bring to light what has gone unnoticed in our humdrum everyday experience, so that we notice things for the first time.
There are three reasons why I believe art is important for us as Christians and why many of us should be engaged in it ourselves, while others appreciate it and encourage Christian artists. The first has to do with the essence of our humanity and our relationship to God as humans; second is the ability of art to reveal truth and to transform; third is the way beauty causes people to long for the good, for justice, and ultimately for God."
