St John's Artist Advocate, Cornelia van Voorst, explores the ways an artistic point of view intersects with religious and spiritual practices and hosts a time called 'Open Eyes' with a spiritual community for artists online. Convergence is based in Alexandria, Virginia. Convergence has been exploring alternative ways of being church with artists taking a central role for a number of years now. Recognising the value of the theopoetic work she's been doing and invited Cornelia to be part of their online presence.
This Sunday and each third Sunday of the month, 'Open Eyes' looks at sacred text and how modern artists have approached spirituality. We look at art by a particular artist, and use the time to reflect on our own lived experience and ideas.
