“Do we declare that the altar to the unknown god points to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob revealed by the Son? Or do we dismiss it out of hand as hopelessly pagan? Modern and contemporary art is not, to be sure, for the faint of Christian heart.”

“For any given provocation, we are egged on by our instant, omnipresent media to unleash our basest instincts—we might think of them as cultural “fight-flight-freeze” responses—rather than committing ourselves to the slower process of seeking truth.[15] (One genuinely new thing is the virtual mob, which can be just as inhumane and culturally damaging as any physical mob.) This self-debasement of our humanity in desperate and irrational fear of the “other” is a result of poor cultural stewardship.”
― Makoto Fujimura, Culture Care: Reconnecting with Beauty for our Common Life
