We recently polled our online readers: Is there a place for Christians in the field of creative arts? Does your church do enough to encourage creative people (painters, potters, film-makers, scriptwriters etc) to use their talents?

Yes, I think there is very big place for Christians in creative arts. Visual effects are a good outreach and creative arts is an effective way to do it—through movies, poems, paintings, drawings and so on.

I believe our church is not really using the skill of the creative arts people (the one I attend anyhow). We could use the Adventist Media Centre a bit more. Yes, it would cost money—something that we all need—but we could do a small creative arts program once a month and send it to all the Adventist churches.
