Is Faith Back In the Arts?

The FITA team is back! And since we we’ve been away, there seems to have been some subtle shifts in the faith/art conversation. Popular culture seems more interested in Jesus and the Christian faith than they were a few years ago and Marlita, Ally and Jonny want to talk about it. If you do too, join us for our mini series that asks ‘is faith back in the arts?’ If you’d like to join the conversation, please email us at [email protected] .
