The arts have a central role in a full-bodied conception of the Christian faith. Not only is God’s primary self-revelation artistic – a work of literature – but the arts are core to our own human self-revelation, to our exploration of the world, and to the cultural mandate through which, in some small way, we image God. We want a creative spirit to pervade our research work and missional activities, and so our Arts Hub is a keen KLC focus. In 2023-24, KLC was given custodianship of ArtWay.eu, a landmark online publication featuring thousands of reflections by Christian writers on the arts.
We invite scholars and practitioners to join our community of fellows. The needs of our projects are diverse and so we welcome people of diverse gifts too. There are no strings attached: you can apply to join simply to observe and to open avenues of connection with other scholars on your own terms.
For those who are interested in actively participating in impactful public-theological research, successful applicants can join a variety of communities for fellowship within your areas of interest, or simply follow one or more projects and contribute to the discussion or collaborate in your areas of expertise.
