• El arte importa. No es simplemente una actividad de ocio para privilegiados o un pasatiempo para excéntricos. Es un bien práctico para el mundo. La obra del artista es una expresión de esperanza, es un homenaje al valor de la vida humana y es vital para la sociedad. El arte es una expresión sagrada de la creatividad humana que comparte el mismo terreno ontológico que todo trabajo humano. El arte, junto con toda obra, es la ordenación de la creación hacia la intención del creador.

• If leading worship is just about bringing a group of people into a room so we can get goosebumps and sing songs together, there's not much value in that. But if leading worship is a means to an end, that we leave this place as a different kind of people, as part of a new humanity that God wants to create... then that matters.

• I used to flirt with fundamentalism, and I had this idea that creation was something that happened. Now I see creation as something that is happening. Hundreds of millions of stars are still being born every day. Creation is an ongoing process. The Artist has not yet cleaned out the brushes. The paint is still wet. Human beings are the small clumps of clay and breath, and we have been handed brushes of our own, like young artist apprentices. The brushes aren't ours, nor the paint or canvas, but here they are in our hands, on loan. What shall we make?
