RELIGIOUS ART | NEWS OF WEEK

ALPHA OMEGA ARTS
By TAHLIB, Curator

Pastor Rob Bell, Pastor Vivian Wyatt, and Ernest Disney-Britton

The Egyptian Room at Old National Center in Indianapolis is a concert venue for rock acts like Social Distortion and Flux Pavillion, but on Friday night it was Pastor Rob Bell's stage. For two hours he took us on a journey of 13.8 billion years to the birth of the universe. Dressed like an artist; speaking like a song-writer; and teaching with humor, he packed the house with a new kind of Christian love. That's why Rob Bell's “Everything is Spiritual" tour is our NEWS OF WEEK.
