What of possible reactions of the congregation regarding the usage of fine arts in worship?
A. The congregation’s meditations, supplications and songs should influence as well as be influenced the visual arts. It is not all that different from sermon preparation. When a pastor crafts a sermon, he or she does so with the general characteristics and progressive needs of the congregation in mind. In other words the best sermon will meet the vast majority of the congregation where they are spiritually, emotionally, psychologically, morally and so forth and then seek to challenge and elevate them closer to Jesus. The visual arts, digital and natural, should be used in like manner.
