Ruah: breath, wind, spirit. It’s the Hebrew word used in Genesis 1 (”and the spirit hovered over waters…), and it’s our inspiration for co-creating ruah arts group.
We’re people of faith who are passionate about culture, and want to inspire, be inspired and connect other creative types. We’re embryonic right now, but very much moving forward with this Call to engage the culture.
Our Mission is threefold (and alliterative!):
1) Fellowship–we’re inherently social, and in both unity and diversity we shall gather for informal meetings/ events, days of retreat and eventually a grand shindig.
2) Formation–What is Beauty? What is Truth? Isn’t Art subjective? What *is* art? What’s the relationship between faith and art? How does the Incarnate Word change everything? These are the types of questions we’ll tackle in our journey ahead.
3) Fraternal Service– If fellowship is the centripetal force, fraternal service is the centrifugal call to give of ourselves. We’ll help each other to discern the gifts we’ve received, and provide the means to help get there. We feel especially called to give to the liturgical arts.
