"Jesus does not tell his followers to do salt and light, simply
to be them in the right place.
If genuine believers, committed to integrity, are living their faith
'out there' in contemporary culture,
they will by definition be salt and light. Their life-enhancing
properties will flow inevitably 'to the
art, through the art, and from the art'. That means that, as
they go into the world of the arts,
they will quite naturally share their Christian story with those they
meet and apply the radical
standards of Jesus to the situations they encounter. Their faith
will be so much a part of them
that it cannot but come out through the medium of their art, whether
or not overtly stated.
And should their art make them famous or respected, the wider world
too will be curious
about the 'different drummer' that orders their steps, and they will
have earned the right to
tell them." Hilary Brand & Adrienne Chaplin
