One of the TRC practices is Culture Making. We encourage everyone to pay attention to their everyday interaction with the materials of the creation as a way of connecting to God’s presence. In Malcolm Guite’s new book ‘Lifting the Veil’, we find this wisdom that enhances our understanding of Culture Making:
”Whenever we create or make something with kenotic love—be it art or craft, song or quilt, book or bookshelf—we are both inhabiting and re-sounding (echoing), what Samuel Taylor Coleridge called ‘the lovely shapes and sounds intelligible of that eternal language, which thy God utters, who from eternity doth teach himself in all, and all things in himself.’ Creativity, claims Coleridge, is the work of the Logos within us; it is a ‘repetition in the finite mind of the eternal act of creation in the infinite I AM.’ This is the glory and the joy of human creativity.”
