Arts at CSTM

我们的依纳爵遗产邀请我们探索神学和艺术之间的交集. Seeking God in all things, our engagement with artistic mediums like poetry, 音乐, 戏剧, and literature nourishes our imagination and enlivens our theology. Here at CSTM, 学生将找到无数的方法来发现艺术在当今世界的神学和事工的持续力量. 

Freeing and Formative

Engagement with the arts expands our theological sensibilities, coupling intellect and affect in ways that are freeing and formative. The arts serve as powerful spiritual resources, 聚集观者的能量和情感,激发对有意义的实践的渴望.
科琳米. 格里菲思, Professor of the Practice of Theology

Aesthetic Expressions: M.A. Theology and Ministry 程序

Students in the M.A. 神学和事工课程必须完成一个综合论文项目,该项目在神学和实践上与学生部长兴趣的核心问题有关. 这个项目的一个选择允许学生通过美学表达来参与他们的神学和部长兴趣. 那些艺术/表演能力已经得到认可的学生可以利用这些才能对他们的论文问题做出有意义和全面的回应. An Artistic/Performance thesis may use creative arts (visual, 音乐的, or movement), multi-media, 或实地工作,探索神学和事工意义的主题. 这个项目在公共表演或展示中达到高潮,其中包括教育成分.

From Thesis Project to Published Book

For his thesis project, Andrew Craig '19 argued for the spirituality of children’s literature, in both its creation and its use. To convey this, he illustrated and wrote his own children’s book, The Girl Who Saved the Stars. 然后,他分享了这个过程,以及他能够向一群孩子朗读这本书的时刻. 灵感来自教宗方济各的《电子游戏正规平台》以及伊丽莎白·约翰逊的神学, 他希望分享关爱受造物的讯息,让年轻人能够为自己的信仰发声. The Girl Who Saved the Stars was recently published by Barnes & Noble Press.
