phase one (1997-2000)
Phase One was concerned with four main activities.
Much of the work was experimental - testing the ground and gauging responses.
four main activities were promoted:
conversation
Conversation between artists and theologians, designed to enable both to practise theology as they engaged with each other.
This happened in many ways, including 'pod' groups, interactive events and Advisory Board meetings.
courses
Courses which teach theology through the arts take place in many different formats, in many different parts of the world.
publications
Publications disseminated 'theology through the arts' in print.
These included:-
- Jeremy Begbie's book Theology, Music and Time - Published by Cambridge University Press.
- Beholding the Glory - Published by Baker Books.
international arts festival
'Sounding the Depths' (Sept 2000) drew together the main work of the project, provided fresh demonstrations of the project in action, promoted the formation of networks and communities who would pursue the project's work in the future, and clarified the various ways in which TTA's work should be developed.
