‘Image’ special issue on ‘The Matter of Devotion’
CICW was delighted to co-sponsor a conference with the journal Image last fall entitled “The Matter of Devotion: Art, Liturgy, and the Stuff of Worship.” A series of presentations from that conference have just been published in the current issue of Image (#49). The essays are not available online, but this issue can be purchased from Image‘s website.
The opening editorial statement by Image editor Gregory Wolfe can be read online. Wolfe writes, “The artist’s calling is not in the wind, earthquake, and fire of human activity, but in the still, small voice that speaks through our human experience. That voice may be quiet, but it is insistent, and while it places burdens upon us, it also liberates.”
