When art is made to serve a particular political or religious ideology it is reduced to a form of propaganda designed to promote a particular dogma. In contrast, great art is expansive. It can help to open up new worlds, question prejudices, and sensitize us in various ways. Great art arises from a particular time and place, but is not contained by them. It questions the world into which it is born. Within the church today art is often reduced to a handmaiden, serving at the feet of the doctrine. But another possibility exists, a subversive type of art that exists within the church, but is not of it. An art that brings doubt, complexity and ambiguity into the very heart of faith and opens it up to new possibilities.
