Case Studies
Throughout history storytelling, image making, singing, music, dance and storytelling have been integral to our attempts at making sense of the world and our place in it. With the proper structure, conversation around art and art making allows spiritual exploration that includes a multiplicity of viewpoints and perspectives while breaking down defenses and presuppositions.
Below you will find examples of both art making and engaging with art created by others that Convergence has found meaningful in outreach and building Christian community. Our hope is that these examples will encourage you and spark ideas for use in your own context. We have provided links to downloads of orders of worship, articles, etc. which give more detail for each of these experiences.
