Reflections
“When I paint, I never think of it as representing the content of my faith, even when I’m painting something religious…painting is for me an act of faith, a way of staying faithful, perhaps to God, or to the open wonder of existence,” says Dr Peter Kline from St Francis College in our ‘How my art intersects with my faith’ series

No peace
Dr Peter Kline reflects on the legacy of theologian and anti-Nazi dissident, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, whose anniversary of death is marked on 9 April and who spent time in a Black church in New York City: “What Bonhoeffer found in the Black church was a faith in which Jesus, and therefore God, is Black…It is to say that God is to be found in solidarity with Black lives in their fight against white supremacy”
“The constant danger and temptation internal to theology is idolatry, creating God in our own image, using God to secure a world (or a church, or a self) that conforms to our desires to be in the right, to have a purchase on the good, the true, and the beautiful,” reflects the Academic Dean at St Francis College Dr Peter Kline
