Great thoughts! Beauty and art have unfortunately been under-emphasized aspects of Christian theology in most Protestant/Evangelical circles over the past several years.

There is an interesting relationship between Christianity and Art. While I agree that there is an issue with Christians being dismissive of Art and/or compartmentalizing it, I think there is also a serious issue with those who profess Christianity and yet do not see Art through the lens of Scripture and do not subordinate Art to it. It's crucial for a believer to begin with Scripture as the ultimate standard for all maters of faith and practice, and only then are they in position to properly honor God with Art.

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.- Deuteronomy 6:5 (ESV)

But whoever has doubts is condemned if he eats, because the eating is not from faith. For whatever does not proceed from faith is sin.- Romans 14:23 (ESV)

To the pure, all things are pure, but to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their minds and their consciences are defiled.- Titus 1:15 (ESV)

Cross Processing is a great idea, I'm enjoying it and looking forward to more!
