In The Neglected Fireplace: Protestantism and the Arts , today’s “On the Square” article, Matthew Milliner argues that “Protestant churches have come to a new level of liturgical maturity, understanding the necessity for restraint, humility, and historical precedent when enhancing the worship with art,” but have not completely seen that “the necessarily conservative nature of liturgical art.”
Like our web editor Joe Carter, whose Thomas Kinkade’s Cottage Fantasy appeared “On the Square” yesterday, Milliner is writing of his own tradition. He’s also pursuing a doctorate in art history at Princeton.
