In August, Luann left her position at Redeemer to pursue other creative and ministry opportunities, and is currently teaching drama and public speaking classes at St. John's University in Queens. She is also developing a new project, Church & Art Network, to bring together leaders of ministries, organizations, and seminaries that are working at the intersection of the arts and faith, particularly in order to share their knowledge and experience with churches and Christian schools that are developing arts programs. To learn more and get on the email list, visit www.churchandart.org. Luann thanks Maria and Kenyon, all of the volunteer leaders, and the other artists and Redeemerites who made her six years at the helm of the Arts Ministry so rewarding.

Wright inaugurated our new lecture series which will culminate in a weekend conference on the topic of faith and work in Fall 2011.

Each month features a renowned speaker who will help us understand: Why our work matters in light of Redemption Why theology is critical in the effective and nuanced engagement of our work Why community is necessary for keeping our vision and perspective, and Why the motivations and desires of our hearts lie at the core of our effective service >> Top
