Eikon is the name we have given to our developing artistic communities. We are reclaiming and reframing our creativeness as part of our spiritual practice through photography, visual arts, dance, film, music, & writing.
To be an Eikon means, first of all, to be in union with God as Eikons; second, it means to be in communion with other Eikons; and third, it means to participate with God in his creating, his ruling, his speaking, his naming, his ordering, his variety and beauty, his location, his partnering, and his resting, and to oblige God in his obligating of us. Thus, an Eikon is God-oriented, self-oriented, other-oriented, and cosmos-oriented. To be an Eikon is to be a missional being - one designed to love God, self, and others and to represent God by participating in God's rule in this world.
We hope you can find a group to plug in with that helps you to reframe your creative self in spiritual practice.
Photography
The Photographers community exists to love and glorify God as artists through our medium of photography as spiritual practice. We hope to create a community that facilitates the discovery and exploration of how the medium of photography intersects with our identity in God & provide avenues to share it with the greater community. Through galleries, online presence, community & congregational service.
