Are Christians responsible for "stewarding" (our favorite word) all of God's gifts? Is colour a gift? If it is, then do we need to think about stewarding colour? What does that even mean? Is that a stupid question? Why do we even HAVE colour?We packed the Loft last month to hear our Artist-in-Re(z)idence Elias Ferenczy talk about colour! Along the way, we learned how colour (1) is a tool that companies might be weaponizing against you (but you can use for good!), (2) tells us stories, and (3) invites us to know and reflect our Creator - and ended with a really rich discussion.Thank you for leading such a vibrant night, Elias.
