“Tolkien explains, “We make … because we are made: and not only made, but made in the image and likeness of a Maker.”12 Our creativity, therefore, relies on and submits to the One whose image we reveal.”
Thomas J. Terry, Images and Idols: Creativity for the Christian Life

“Neil Gaiman succinctly puts it, “When things get tough, this is what you should do: Make good art.”
Thomas J. Terry, Images and Idols: Creativity for the Christian Life

“A lot of Christian creatives are skeptical of other Christians, too. Many creative believers we’ve talked to feel undervalued in the church, so much so that the church no longer feels like home for them. It seems the only time the church needs them is when they want someone “artsy” to decorate the sanctuary for the Christmas Spectacular, or when they need a “creative” to be onstage to show the congregation that they can “relate” to the culture and appeal to those “other” generations.”
