Rabbi Organizes Religion, Spirituality, and the Arts Seminar in Indianapolis

ALPHA OMEGA ARTS

INDIANA---In another sign of the growing acceptance of religious art, a rabbi has organized secular religious arts seminar based on "The Binding of Isaac", Genesis 22 at Butler University. Entitled, "Religion, Spirituality, and the Arts: A Symposium," the new initiative of the Center for Faith and Vocation is designed to bring people together from diverse artistic disciplines, practices and religious/spiritual perspectives for a sustained study and reflection on a Biblical text. Participation is limited to twelve artists who engage the sacred text as they seek inspiration to create new work (music, poetry, visual art, dance, drama, narrative, liturgical art). The project is being made possible through the support of Lilly Endowment Inc.
