Visual Art Ministry in Philadelphia

          I had the opportunity to visit my alma mater this past weekend, and they were promoting a form of visual art ministry currently taking place in Philadelphia. Known and sometimes chuckled at by its Greek origins as "the city of brotherly love," there are now displays of Scriptural love all across the city.

          From the artist:

          "For this project I lined up square panels of reclaimed scrap wood, each with a letter cut out like a stencil, spelling out the text quoted above. In some places, long stretches of the text were visible. In other places, passers-by only saw a word, a phrase, or a sentence or two. The text was repeated along an approximately six-mile journey starting in North Philadelphia and ending on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania."

          You can read more about it and see photos here. It's a creative way to bring Scripture into the public square.
