Ed Marcelle: Theology of Art

December 12th, 2007


Beatnik-poet and Buffalo Troy, NY church planter, Ed Marcelle, is one of my favorite artist-theologians alive today. Ed speaks at many of the Acts 29 bootcamps for church planters (Listen to the Audio), his words widen the minds of rookie church planters to see that art can be one of the best methods to communicate the glories of God.

This is a film on advent that you must see. Ed doesn’t use art as a cleaver skin just to draw people in, like a Geico commercial. Rather, he uses art to expand on the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ. YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF TO WATCH THIS VIDEO!

It would be amazing to see what the artists of the worlds churches could do if pastors told them that their skills are a gift from God and can be used to worship him.
