Art of the religious imagination can soothe and it can bite. It can also make you laugh, providing joy and happiness in a year when they often seemed in short supply. All of those qualities shine through in this year's selection of our favorite photographs capturing our 2018 journey. We gathered the best pictures featuring works of art:
Tom Torluemke's "Wedding Bells" at our 10th wedding anniversary;
Makoto Fujimura's "Art of the Gospel" as part of Ernest's mom's 80th birthday celebration; and Judith's beheading General Holoferenes by
Kehinde Wiley in Charlotte, NC. We can't wait to see what comes in 2019!
