Tuesday 12th: Tim Timmerman Lecture.
Tim Timmerman, Arts Director at George Fox University, will be lecturing on the Church's relationship with art throughout history. Beginning with the origins of Church art and progressing right through to the modern Church's often strained relationship with the arts, Tim Timmerman will draw upon many years of experience as an artist, believer and lecturer wrestling with the tension between Church and Art. Incorporating elements of his own story and work, Tim Timmerman's lecture promises to be a valuable and intriguing insight into where we've come from and a provocative tool for instigating the discussion on where we're heading. This seminar will include opportunities to ask questions and debate some of the issues raised by Tim.
7 to 9 p.m Evangel (29th & NE Flanders) in the Fellowship Hall. You can check out Tim’s art at: www.timtimmerman.com.
