In this workshop, art by well-known Chinese Christian artist He Qi, and other artists, was viewed and discussed with him, especially with special attention to the use of visual images in worship.

Questions included the process he follows, also when working from a biblical story; how artists can help congregations view works of art more deeply; and how congregations can make good choices for choosing art to project in worship.

Presented by He Qi and Sandra Bowden at the 2013 Calvin Symposium on Worship
