Dear A&O Readers:
Welcome to February 2013. I love February for many reasons, but the top two are that Lent, typically begins in February and the second is that it was during this month in 2009 that I saw my first contemporary religious art show at the Museum of Biblical Art --- a NYC art museum that hosted "Reel Religion," (2009) a retrospective of the films inspired by the bible (1898-2006). The exhibition originated (2007) in Saint Louis at the Museum of Contemporary Religious Art, a museum which I would later grow attached to visiting during the Lenton season. These February experiences changed my life. Lent brings me a sense of peace for 40-days of the year that only one other experience can match, and that is the same peace I experience when I explore religious themes through the arts. I support the amazing work of the educational charity, the Alpha & Omega Project for Contemporary Religious Arts, Inc because of those two experiences, and this month I am looking forward to that journey continuing.
All Are Welcome,
Ernest Disney-Britton
