Denise Kufus Weyhrich and Cindi Zech Rhodes founded SEEDS Fine Art Exhibits to create conversations between artists and viewers. They know from experience that churches and artists, whether Christian or not, don’t always trust each other.
Weyrich is an artist, curator, and educator in Orange, California. She taught graphic design at California State University-Long Beach and Chapman University until her retirement in 2004. She grew up Baptist and is now Lutheran.
Weyhrich gave the following interview in November 2012 while installing her work “Beacon” in the Calvin College library lobby in Grand Rapids, Michigan. In it she explains how churches can build trust with artists and how installation art can minister.
| SEEDS curated an exhibit called “The Last Word” for the November 2012 Preaching in a Visual Age conference held at Ecclesia Hollywood church in Hollywood, California. Watch conference videos online. |
A podcast from Calvin University featuring thoughtful leaders discussing key topics related to diversity, equity, and inclusion in the context of Christian life and witness.
Congregations, pastors, and parents/caregivers have many opportunities to join together in worship and prayer practices that more intentionally engage children and help them come to know and love God and grow in faith together. Panelists will discuss ways to intentionally create intergenerational community in which people of all ages, including children, are welcomed as full participants whose participation enriches the community and gives praise to God.
What is the role of preaching in situations of deep conflict and division? How can preaching participate in the Christian call to peacemaking? This panel will explore the connections between gospel preaching and peacemaking efforts.

This session will explore how to talk about differences in Catholic and Protestant worship. Every time we talk with a neighbor, teammate, or coworker from a different Christian tradition about what we do in worship and why, we are practicing liturgical theology.
