Art cannot be used to show the validity of Christianity; it should rather be the reverse.

By means of the iconic, artists express their view of reality and show their understanding of the structure of reality. They see what they know and bring this into their paintings. ... They always give us more than the facts, more than the eye can see.

We do not know what we see, but we see what we know.

Jesus didn't come to make us Christian. Jesus came to make us fully human.

We are at home here. Alienation is unnecessary. Contact with reality at a deep level is part of the Christian's life. He enters into reality, rather than escaping from it. The flight from reality is a mark of Eastern and classical mysticism, not of Christianity.

How can you say that modern art is ugly,when you worship the Lord in a building painted like this?

Our world has changed for better or for worse. It is for us to find truth and beauty for today, constantly re-applying the truth of God's word to our own time and our contemporary situation.
