I have been studying the story of Peter and Cornelius in the
Bible, the end result was Cornelius being baptized. During my studies I read the following by
Theodore P. Ferris, “Next, they were baptized, for things of the Spirit crave
to become articulate in tangible forms.”
Such a beautifully simple explanation of a profoundly complicated
truth. From this truth we got Eden, The
Tabernacle, Altars, and many other “tangible forms” including most of the
western history of art. Having your job
description be “explaining the things of The Spirit” should give all artists
an overwhelming sense of honor.
One of the first Altars our family ever built somewhere high on Black Mountain. |
