All of us engaged by the beauties of authentically living Abrahamic faith also belong to new, emerging architectures. Our nascent longings to touch, taste, see, feel and hear divine essence in our lives imbues both the visual and hearing kingdoms, reflecting our love for God in places of belonging, and echoing inner joy–d'veykus (cleaving to God) by the beauties of monasticism, contemplative life and prayer. And it's here, in these structures our most soulful emotion outpours when we meet in minyan or congregate "where two or more gather in His name." Churches and synagogues, mosques, monasteries and retreat centers serve us along the way of intentionally traveling a path of surrender to God. As ecumenical interfaith artists and community participants, our contributions to lived faith draw us toward God's lustrous center. We enter these constructs as tabernacles and dwelling places–inside bedouin tents, under thatched-reed roofs or gold basilica, Cordovan arched domes or steel spires, humbled in heart by varying degrees, as we anticipate dialogue with the Divine.

LOGOS Guildworks

Monday, 14 May 2012 17:18
LOGOS GUILDWORKS cultivates artistic voicings of the Hebrew Bible and Gospel, asserting faith's substance through God’s divine means, and by conversations in community of Christ. Artworks of LOGOS co-join the essential covenantal call to Abraham in Genesis, L'chi lach lech l'cha vaderech "Go out from your country and kinsmen to be a blessing unto the Nations…I shall bless you, and in you all the families of the Earth shall be blessed" similarly holding Jesus' call to us to be "Salt and Light, a city on a hill," beatific light of the world and new Jerusalem for humankind.
 
GUILDWORKS MEMBERSHIP AND SUBMISSIONS

The Guildworks continues to be developed as a call and witness of design in dialogue–art as transformative experience of life in Abrahamic faith traditions. Our desire is for excellence, living witness in faith and worship, collaborative innovation and pastoral vocation through LOGOSdivinity Guildworks. Artists are invited into the Guildworks based on their artworks and on their personal and professional, living witness of the life,


 language and message of Scripture. Artworks accepted are considered exceptional in their articulation, rooted spiritual traditions in lived faith and customs (minhag in the Hebrew Bible), and in messengering the Christian Gospel.
