There is a New Renaissance Rising.

It's a movement to reintegrate inspired art* into the church and spiritually powerful art into the culture. A movement that will connect artists with the ultimate Creator and their true selves, invigorate the Body of Christ and convey God's love to the world in creative and authentic ways.

The signs are all around.

From the historic November 21st, 2009 meeting at the Sistine Chapel between world -renowned artists and the Pope to “rekindle the special historical relationship between faith and art”, to mainline Protestant churches integration of contemporary music, drama and digital media in their services, to to recent powerful prophetic statements from Charismatics about God’s plans for the arts.
