Quakers and the Arts? by Nancy Thomas, a Friend Serving Abroad

Vol. 7, Issue 1
I love Bezalel. He’s one of my favorite biblical heroes, although he only pops up in a few Old Testament verses. Consider this statement about him, plunked in the middle of rules about incense, what you can and can’t do on the Sabbath, and how exactly to wash your hands before burning a ram on the altar: “The Lord said to Moses, ‘See, I have chosen Bezalel…and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill and ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts—to make artistic designs….for the Holy Place’” (Ex. 32:1-3, 11). There is a natural connection between the Spirit of God, art, and the people of God.

Last year North Valley Friends Church sponsored a Wednesday night series that we called “Spirituality and the Arts: At Play in the Fields of the Lord.” For each of the 10 presentations, we invited a local artist to display his or her gifts and talk about the relation of art to his or her own spiritual journey. The following group discussions were rich. The variety of art forms presented gave evidence to more creative possibilities than most of us had previously considered. Bryan Boyd began the series by walking us through his creative process as a theatrical set designer at George Fox University. He mentioned the tensions in this process: the tensions between personal creativity and the necessary collaboration of the community that will produce the play, tensions between intuition and Continued on page 2
Quakers and the Arts? Continued from page 1 reason, tensions between the need for time to let the process work and the pressure of deadlines. Being an artist is not comfortable. Bryan used the phrase, “a terrifying mystery.” He also mentioned that all this is so integrated with who he is (and is becoming) that he can hardly analyze what part is creativity and what part is spirituality. (See bryanboyddesign.com.) The presentations of both Craig Goodworth (“Art, Spirituality and the Body”) and Phil Thornburg and Miriam Bock (“The Spirituality of Landscaping as Art”) linked art, Spirit, and materiality in a way I consider uniquely Quaker. Spirituality as evidenced in art engages the five physical senses and often has dirt under its fingernails. Goodworth, an interdisciplinary artist who works in sculpture, drawing, poetry, and installation art, speaks of his artistic work as flowing from a grounded spirituality; a spirituality that rises up from physicality, materiality, geography and culture.

Perhaps the artists among us are the best qualified to voice (paint, sculpt, sing, plant) that reality. I don’t know if Quaker artists do it better than other people. That’s probably not even a question worth asking. But our commitment to “walk cheerfully over the earth” certainly helps us along. Quakers and the arts? Yes, of course.

Being a Pray-er through Art by Sarah Klatt-Dickerson, North Valley Friends I have been writing poetry since I can remember. I use words to try and make sense of the world and my experience of it. When words fail I turn to painting, drawing, paper crafting, sewing, pottery, photography, or whatever way I find to create. Creating helps me understand and process life. I remember when I was around nine years old and my three-year-old cousin died. I made some paper plate art with tissue paper flowers with her name written in the center and went into my room. I placed the artwork in the closet and shut the door. Then I got on my knees and prayed that God would give it to her. I prayed and cried and prayed, and occasionally went to check if the paper plate was still there. It never disappeared, and I was faced with the reality of pain, grief, and suffering. Ever since, art has been a way for me to deal with my feelings, and try to reconcile brokenness with the goodness I find in God. Growing up, I thought prayer was something you said to God— sometimes in your head, sometimes out loud, or sometimes written. I was a very disciplined pray-er in this way, giving my praises and requests to God. But it is hard for me to express my deepest desires and sorrows in this format. I've come to see art as a form of prayer. In college, my ceramic professor asked me if there was a more incarnational way to pray than forming a vessel out of clay. As God formed Adam and Eve out of mud and breath, so I began to form cups and bowls and vases. And with that same breath that gave life to me, I create in small ways, with words and other things, as my Creator did and continues to do.
Sarah Klatt-Dickerson is finishing up her MDiv at George Fox Evangelical Seminary this May, and feels called to be a pastor and an artist. She is currently a pastor at North Valley Friends and manages an Etsy shop online with her dad: ordinaryartists.etsy.com
I wonder as I wander what grace it must have took, to create a world intricately bound together, knowing that some of the creatures would separate themselves and mark the distance between them, as holy.

This December I visited Evangelical Friends Church Mid-America Yearly Meeting (EFC-MA YM) and attended the pilot of their newly developed conference, reGENERATION. The event spanned four intense and revitalizing days, waking up early to attend worship sessions, meals, labs, small groups, recreation activities, then going to bed late, exhausted and joyful. The inevitable differences I noticed between Northwest Yearly Meeting (NWYM) and EFC-MAYM proved positive, broadening the way I worship and experience God. The first area I’d like to highlight is prayer. My introverted worship style has always fit well with silent prayer, while praying out loud pushes my comfort zone. For reGENERATION’s prayer lab we gathered into small groups of four and prayed out loud for each other immediately after sharing thanksgivings and requests. During our debrief, a woman in my small group presented a challenge I decided to take up: find a specific person to pray for each week, ask for their requests and continue to talk with them throughout the week. It’s simple, and it has led me to fully realize how prayer strengthens both an individual’s relationship with God and the relationships within a faith community. The atmosphere of worship was very clear and intentional throughout the conference. We woke up each morning and went straight into a laid-back worship session with singing and scripture. These worship sessions were held in a room set aside specifically for worship, and we were asked to keep talking at a minimum as soon as we stepped through the doorway. Each day also ended in worship, and I found this deliberate structure made it easier to keep my easily-distracted mind focused on God. I’m grateful for the many meaningful conversations I had with students and adults about youth involvement in both NWYM and EFC-MAYM. There’s so much we can learn from each other’s yearly meetings, and I hope to see a youth representative from MidAmerica join the Northwest’s yearly meeting sessions someday.

Through the Looking Glass by David Reid, Sherwood Friends Photography is a process of finding and capturing reflected light. As Quakers, we also look for ways to recognize the Light that dwells among us. I am beginning to find that both of these practices are strikingly similar to each other. May we all continue to get better at recognizing and responding to the light that dwells in others.

On Our Way Rejoicing by Becky Ankeny, NWYM superintendent Pied Beauty GLORY be to God for dappled things— For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow; For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim; Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches’ wings; Landscape plotted and pieced—fold, fallow, and plough; And áll trádes, their gear and tackle and trim. All things counter, original, spare, strange; Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?) With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim; He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change: Praise him.

Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–89). Poems. 1918.
As a former English professor, I had the privilege of getting to know God better through the imaginative use of language, exemplified so well by Hopkins in the poem above. He teaches me to value contrasts and differences in nature, to see beauty in the tame and the wild, to see God behind it all. My good dead friend, George MacDonald wrote, “But God sits in that chamber of our being in which the candle of our consciousness goes out in darkness, and sends forth from thence wonderful gifts into the light of that understanding which is His candle” (“The Imagination: Its Function and Its Culture”, 1867). We can look for God’s truth through human art because humans are made in God’s image, including God’s creativity. I found a truth about trauma and forgiveness in Toni Morrison’s Beloved, how impossible it is for an enslaved self to forgive, and how necessary it is to forgive oneself. I learned that writing a novel can be the novelist’s struggle toward forgiveness from Anthony Burgess and his A Clockwork Orange. I learned it from the 21st chapter, the one omitted from the first American edition by his editors.

I learned about how it is possible to hate slavery and still be racist from Beloved and Gilead by Marilynne Robinson. I learned that no one ever really knows the whole truth about another human being from A.S. Byatt in Possession. I learned that God’s grace may come via a lunatic trying to choke a good middle-class woman in “Revelation” by Flannery O’Connor. She also had something to say about being grateful for the body we inhabit in “The Temple of the Holy Ghost.” I learned from Oliver Sacks that quirks in the way the brain functions can open new windows into what it means to be human in The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat. He also taught me that healing might be way more painful than losing a part of oneself in A Leg to Stand On. C. S. Lewis in The Silver Chair taught me that God oversees all, even when we bungle every instruction, and, in The Last Battle, that it is possible to dwell in Paradise and think it a smelly stable if one prefers certainty to faith. In Till We Have Faces, he taught me that we must not feed our own need for love at the expense of another human being, and that each human will have her own day of judgment and redemption with God. George MacDonald in Lilith taught me that what I clasp tightly to myself is lethal, and that I must give it to God, even if I have to lose my hand to do so. He taught me to believe that God is better than I can even imagine and that simple obedience is the place to start knowing God. George MacDonald also taught me that human art is a form of communication, and like all communication is composed of fragments that we must work with in order to experience anything like understanding. We treat it with respect because behind it is a human being who is saying something, and who, like us, is made in the image of God.

KEEPING CURRENT WITH LOCAL AND GLOBAL OUTRE ACH
What's in Your Hand? by Patty Federighi, North Seattle Friends
First Corinthians 12:7 reads, “Each person is given something to do that shows who God is; everyone gets in on it, everyone benefits” (The Message). At North Seattle Friends one of the ways we show who God is to the world is through quilts. A quilt is creative. A quilt is warm. A quilt brings comfort, blessing, and healing. A quilt is beautiful. A quilt shows care and love. Each of these attributes of a quilt is also an attribute of our loving God. Quiltmaking offers plenty of opportunity to show the world who God is. In the Peace Through Pieces Quilting Ministry we work with Trauma Healing and Reconciliation Services of Burundi (THARS, www.thars.org). Our quiltmaking is used as trauma healing for women who are victims of torture and sexual violence in central Africa. Through this work we’ve learned that: 1. God works mightily in the ordinary. Jesus compared the kingdom to a mustard seed or yeast—the smallest, seemingly most insignificant things. When God spoke to Moses in the burning bush, sending him to release the captive Israelites, Moses said, “Why should they believe me? What sign can I give?” God said to Moses, “What’s in your hand?” God used the ordinary—a shepAfricans making a quilt. herd’s staff—to show who God is. And God is using ordinary quilts in Central Africa to show who God is. 2. Healing and peace come to the makers of a quilt, as well as the receivers of a quilt. 3. In Burundi, when a loved one is grieving, sick, or troubled, a common token of comfort is to give that friend a blanket. Quiltmaking works hand-in-hand with an already existing tradition. 4. In Burundi, if you improve the life of a woman, you improve the life of a whole village.

5. In every village where the women we’ve trained are quilting, everyone in the village wants what they’ve learned—including the men. Women who have been raped and rejected by their family and community—sometimes forced to live out in the bush—have not only been restored to their homes. They have gone from being victims and outcasts—essentially the lepers of their communities—to being Africans presenting a finished quilt. celebrities. 6. Quiltmaking can aid in the healing of ethnic hatred. At one workshop when the 20 women gathered for the week-long training, some were arrogant and rude and directed hurtful, hateful things towards the Twa women teachers. Ignoring these barbs, the teachers just set out to teach quiltmaking. After a few days the students spontaneously apologized to their teachers, saying how much they appreciated them, saying that even though they came from different ethnic groups, different backgrounds, and different communities, they’ll leave as friends. God is using quiltmaking to heal the hatred among the Hutu, Tutsi, and Twa ethnic groups of Burundi. 7. And we’ve learned a great deal about joy. We held a workshop at the Friends Peace Center near Uvira in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Conditions in Congo continue to be appalling. Deaths from violence, hunger, and disease are expected to exceed six million. Incidents of rape and sexual torture of women exceed 100,000. And yet, among these Friends women, many of whom are victims of this outrage, there was great joy. Joy in learning a new skill. Joy in making something beautiful. Joy in the gathering of women together with outbreaks of singing and dancing several times a day. One THARS staff member in Bujumbura, Burundi, on hearing the stories of joy, said, “Oh, yes, the Congolese. They are known as the ‘Joy of Africa.’” I have so much to learn from this kind of joy. Obviously it does not come from circumstances, comfort, or security. I am making it a new goal to become known as the “Joy of Seattle.” In closing I offer you these querries, just as God asked Moses: What’s in your hand? How is God calling you to show the world who God is? Connection ••July/August Spring 2014 2010

The bottom drawer in my desk is my favorite. If you were to pull it open you would discover colored pencils, paints, sketch books, drawing pencils, an easel, and supplies to make photo cards. I love buying art supplies! The possibilities are endless! Unfortunately, besides writing and photography, using the supplies has been far more elusive as I haven’t known what to do with them, and so the artist within has stayed tucked away down in that drawer. But this all changed when I signed up for a drawing class this last winter. Taught by a local artist, our teacher has been taking us through the delights of drawing with pencils, pens, and colored pencils. Sitting in class drawing away is my favorite time of the whole week. I am so blissfully happy with pencil or pen in hand and a sketchbook in front of me. I never knew I could feel such joy creating art or that there really was an artist within bursting to get out! It feels like I’ve stepped off a cliff and discovered I can fly. So far I’ve drawn seashells, birds, fish, landscapes, and still lifes. Though it’s tempting to judge my own work with a critical eye, finding fault in this line or that perspective, I’ve made it a habit to find something I love in every drawing on which to focus. This keeps the art form fun and I enjoy what I create. Recently, we worked on landscapes using pens. By the end of class, some people finished their pictures while others, like myself, we’re only partly done. I like mine and took the drawing home to finish (photo right), but sat there thinking if I wasn’t so concerned making things look right or being so careful with the marks I made, I, too, would be further along. People who finished drew bolder, faster lines. Abandoning firm control, they drew daringly, capturing the feeling instead of just the fine details. There is a time for both styles, and I wondered: how much of my life do I use being too cautious, too careful, instead of being bold and daring? How much time in my journey with God do I spend attending to the fine details and ignore the larger picture? Am I so caught up in drawing the weeds on the rocks I completely miss the beauty of the trees? While endeavoring to boldly draw the trees behind the pond, I listened as our teacher worked her way around the room. She is always so encouraging, genuinely admiring something about each person’s drawing, and when she adds to it you never get the sense she’s correcting you, but making something good even better. www.nwfriends.org www.nwfriends.org • Northwest • Northwest Yearly YearlyMeeting MeetingofofFriends Friends
Her style reminds me of God—so uplifting. I never feel looked down on, but delighted in. I feel freedom to be myself, freedom to draw whatever comes and to enjoy the experience. Without limits imposed by myself, my teacher, and certainly not by God, I can experiment with confidence, have fun learning, and take each picture as an opportunity to learn to draw more like me. Truly, whether in drawing or walking with God, there are no limits. We are free to run through the fields, explore, and have fun. We are artists of the spirit—here to paint the sky with wild abandon. A question I’ve asked myself is how do I express my spiritual experience in my drawings? I may never have an answer and I don't think it needs one. This class has been entirely for my own pleasure and is one of the best things I’ve done for myself in a long time. I’ve already come so far as an artist and as a person— I’m certain it won’t be my last art class, and certainly not the last time I draw a picture and God uses the experience as yet another way to speak to my soul.
