We're doing some catching up on things that have been happening over the last nine months. In December, we gathered a group of artists to reflect on birth, death, faith, and the cost of discipleship in an exhibit called "25/26." “25/26” references the two days in December that the Christian church celebrates the Birth of Christ (25th) and the death of Christianity’s first martyr, St. Stephen (26th). Not only are these two celebrations filled with powerful imagery for the creative imagination, the juxtaposition of these two pivotal events represents common elements which all faiths and all peoples struggle to reconcile and understand. On these two days the gift of salvation is set against the cost of that salvation … God’s work in the world is set against the world’s response to God’s love and care.
