| This
is a new program, founded by John de Gruchy and
Robert Steiner. It seeks to examine the role and
relationship between Christianity and the arts in
the transformation of South African society with
implications for the church and theological
reflection. An exploratory workshop around this
theme during the February conference on Religion
and Public life in Cape Town marked its
beginnings. The immediate objectives include:
becoming familiar with the terrain and the
issues, initiating discussion with artists,
students, and the church, and establishing a
network via RICSA’s web-site. A postgraduate
seminar course during the second semester and a
workshop in September with Dr Jeremy Begbie from
Cambridge University, involving artists,
students, and churches took place. Based on the
seminar and workshop, a position paper and a
research plan will be formulated which will
provide a base for fundraising for the future of
the project. Project leaders: John de Gruchy and
Robert Steiner
