RELIGIOUS ART | NEWS OF WEEK

ALPHA OMEGA ARTS 
By TAHLIB

HOPE brought people of different faiths together this week, with Pope Francis leading "much" of the way. It was a week where Hindus, Jews, and Christians all celebrated their holy days. It was a week where many US congregations celebrated as the US Supreme Court listened to arguments supporting the "freedom to marry" for their gay members; and it was a week where Muslim Turks and Jewish Israelis renewed a commitment to cooperation.  There is hope in the world this week, but with hope also comes dark shadows. That is why Easter Sunday celebrations are a choice to focus on hope, and it's also why Christina Saj's "Hope" (above) from her March 2013 INSPIRE ME! profile is my NEWS OF WEEK.

As a Christian, this holyweek in Indinaapolis is the most special week of my year:

• Passover 2013: The Maccabeats - (Video) [More News]
• Maundy Thursday: Roberts Park United Methodist Church 
• Good Friday: Christ Church Cathedral, Indianapolis 
• Easter 2013: Unity of Indianapolis with Mom & Greg 

To follow my holyweek journey, I'm providing links for the years of Alpha Omega Arts: 2012, 2011, 2010, and 2009. Whether Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Muslim, Jew or non-denominational, we are all members of a giant spiritual family, united in the search for human meaning through art from the religious imagination. For us, it's more than Art. It's Religion.
