CALIFORNIA---Confident that the Bible can once again be an influence on art and culture, Jonathan Bock has founded a nonprofit organization As 1. “For centuries, Christians were vibrant Patrons of the Arts commissioning the best artists to create some of the greatest art in human history which defined Christianity in a positive light,” said Bock, President of Grace Hill Media in Los Angeles. “But along the way, we walked away from culture, allowed our faith to be portrayed in a negative light and, as a natural result, culture moved on without us.” Bock founded As1 to unite Christians to impact the culturally significant art of today – film, television and music – through its demographic size and collective buying power.
