To the extent that music, drama, poetry and prose, paintings, icons or sculptures are media used to make more meaningful our apprehension or worship of God, to the extent they mediate our understanding of His identity, His message or His work, they are truly the highest expression of the arts. Love Is No Game.

Identity's Complaint: Political Boxes
http://ghcomplaint.blogspot.com/2008/04/political-boxes.html
Monday, April 14, 2008. When and how did it come to this? I suppose it just evolved with the increasing polarization: more divisive people, more intolerant people.
