Creativity and Becoming: On Art, Writing, and Orthodox Spiritual Life

The theme of Creativity and Becoming is this: that when we approach the making of art as a spiritual practice, as a way into or expressing loving union with God and others, art becomes secondary to the true work of art that is being created--us. Yes, us. We become the work of Art God wants to create us into. To become icons that reflect His uncreated Light. For what purpose? To share and spread light as a help, healing, and inspiration for others.

Creativity and Becoming is a compilation of writers and artists, philosophers and saints who have thought, lived, and written deeply about creativity and spiritual practice. It is written for those who are seeking to create in a way that gives honour and glory to God and to be drawn into loving union with Him. It is written for those who long to become the work of Art God has created us all to be.
