Welcome Aboard
The replies are starting to come back, and our team of contributors is taking shape. I'm really excited that you've chosen to be a part of this project. So welcome.
In the invites, I laid out some details of what this is all about, but I wanted to put it down here just to clarify, and as a record of where we started. I've noticed that a lot of Christians are discussing art on their blogs - be it Christian music, visual arts, or writing. There is a real interest in discussing the role of art in our Christian walk, as well as discerning what constitutes "good" Christian art.
So here we are. A blog where many voices can come together and talk it over. The idea is to have a base of contributors that grows and shifts with time, so that those who have something to put out there in a post can do so.
And let me say right now - if you know of others that should be invited to contribute, feel free now (or at any time) to let myself or Michael (our official, unoffical editor) know so that we can send an invite.
As to the rules? The usual. Play nice and all that stuff. Topical content is up to you all. You're the team members after all. Michael may at times suggest themes to get us all going in the same direction, but the field is wide open.
I put a post up here a couple weeks ago, just to get the ball rolling. Yes, I'm aware that its substandard. I don't intend to post very often - mostly I want to facilitate and hear what all of you have to say.
With that in mind - please feel free to post away. If nothing else, maybe folks would like to put up short "who I am" posts so that we can start getting to know one another.
Glad to have you aboard. May our Lord be glorified here!

I have a couple of suggestions that the moderator of the blog might consider adding as links:
Image Journal - Art, Faith, Mystery
"One of America's leading literary and arts quarterlies, explores the relationship between Judeo-Christian faith and art through contemporary fiction, poetry, painting, sculpture, architecture, film, music, and dance."
http://www.imagejournal.org/
Christians in the Visual Arts
"Founded in 1979, CIVA first met to consider the place of the Christian artist in the church and the world at large...It is our purpose to encourage Christians in the visual arts to develop their particular callings to the highest professional level possible; to learn to deal with specific problems in the field without compromising our faith and our standard of artistic endeavor..."

Got 'em. Thanks Devin!
