Thomas Berry writes, “It’s all a matter of a story. We are in trouble now because we do not have a good story. We are in between stories. The old story, the account of how the world came to be and how we fit in it, is no longer effective. Yet we have not learned a new story. We need a story that will educate us, a story that will heal, guide, and discipline us.” Perhaps we can shape together our new creation story of mystery and wonder, justice, relationship and sensing the deepest note in the universe, love. This feels rich with possibilities for engaging communities and offers us the capacity to transform our world. Creating something together that we could not create alone is a natural part of our personal artistic process, and we seek to bring this into our community art. We believe it is intrinsically empowering to stir a person’s imagination with story and to create art in its many forms, together. That has been the inspiration for gathering artists, writers, theologians, and story tellers into our creative community.
