On Friday, September 13, 2024, the Christian Study Center was pleased to host Paul and Emily Pastor for a discussion exploring the place of beauty in the Christian tradition and its relationship to creativity.
Paul is an accomplished poet, and Emily is a classically trained a fine artist, specializing in representational oil painting.
Beauty is an eternal invitation to join a life far larger than our own. But what holds us back from this belonging, and how can we live in light of this Beauty in a world that is often ugly and profoundly painful? In this lecture, Paul and Emily aim to deepen our understanding of how to meaningfully “befriend” Beauty in our lives, participating joyfully in creation according to our giftings, and for the good of the world.
