I learned this morning that our former pastor, Ed Clowney, died yesterday afternoon at the age of 87.

Joe Carter frequently has worthwhile things to say about art. In a fascinating recent entry he took a magnifying glass to the work of a wildly popular Christian artist. Today, Joe begins considering how to rescue art from the critical establishment.
