Am dat de cateva randuri interesante… Vi le ofer intr-o traducere aproximativa.
Crestinul si arta
1.Artistii crestini ar trebui sa-si vada talentul ca pe un dar de la Dumnezeu, dar pe care-l folosesc in ultima instanta sa se inchine lui Dumnezeu
Christian artists should view their talent as a gift from God and
see its use ultimately as worship to God.
2. Un artist crestin ar trebui sa aiba o parere cumpatata despre talentul lui fara sa supraestimeze oportunitatile pe care I le aduce dar nici sa nu subevalueze contributia talentului respectiv
A Christian artist should have a sober assessment of his gift and
neither over-estimate the opportunities it should given him or
undervalue the contribution he can make with it.
3. Arta crestina autentica rezulta din bucuria noastra in Cristos, bucurie revarsata in arta crestina, nu din strategiile noastre de a face arta care sa fie crestina
The most authentic Christian art results from our joy in Christ
overflowing into Christian art, not our strategies to do art that
is Christian.
4. Actul creator este o expresie a credintei si a ascultarii, nu a obligatiei sau a identitatii.
Creating art is an expression of faith and obedience, not of
compulsion or identity.
5. Artistul crestin ar trebui sa vada arta sa ca pe un mod de a-L iubi pe Dumneze, poporul Sau si lumea.
The Christian artist should see his art as a way to love God, his
people, and the world.
6. Artistul crestin vede mana suverana a lui Dumnezeu deopotriva in oportunitati si in obstacole
The Christian Artist sees the sovereign hand of God in both his
opportunities and his obstacles.
7. Artistul crestin este dedicat adevarului prin viata lui si prin ceea ce creeaza.
The Christian artist is committed to truth in the way he lives and
what he creates.
8. Desi artistul crestin nu este sub nici o obligatie sa-si faca toata arta explicit crestina, ar fi totusi nebiblic sa-si foloseasca darul in mod intentionat ca sa creeze o lucrare fara referinta la Cristos.
While the Christian artist is under no burden to make all of his
art explicitly Christian, it would be an unbiblical use of his
gift to intentionally create a body of work without reference to
Christ.
9. Artistul crestin respinge conceptia lumeasca conform careia el este un outsider (paria) si accepta locul sau in cadrul poporului lui Dumnezeu in biserica locala ca fiind essential pentru viata si talentul lui.
The Christian artist rejects the worldly concept of artist as an
outsider and embraces his place among God’s people in the local
church as essential to his life and gifting.
10. Artistul crestin nu ar trebui sa ignore responsabilitatea lui personala in evaluarea corectitudinii teologice a lucrariilor lui.
The Christian artist should not ignore his personal responsibility
to evaluate the theological soundness of his work.
11. Deoarece artistul crestin se increde in Dumnezeu, el se va impotrivi ambitiilor egoiste, competitiei si oricarei false revendicari in ceea ce priveste arta sa.
Because the Christian artist trusts God, he will battle selfish
ambition, competition, and any pretense of entitlement in regard
to his art.
12. Artistul crestin va primi evaluarea altora ca fiind un ajutor essential in evaluarea rodniciei si maturizarea artei respective.
The Christian artist will see the evaluation of others as an
essential help in both growing in their art and assessing its
fruitfulness.
13.Artistul crestin va rezista oricarei forme de elitism si se va preocupa de accesibilitatea artei sale simplului crestin din adunare.
The Christian artist will resist elitism and care about the
accessibility of his art to the average Christian in the congregation
14. Artistul crestin nu trebui sa confunde niciodata bucuria de a crea cu bucuria de a-L cunoaste si a-I place lui Dumnezeu.
The Christian artist must never confuse the joy of creativity with
the joy of knowing and pleasing God.
