What
role does art play in spirituality and health?
This online
Learning Module provides an opportunity to
explore this topic of growing interest by reflecting
on two exhibits in the Online Learning Center art gallery: "Faith
Squinting, Love Reaching, Hope Walking" by artist
C.J. Phipps and "Spirituality, Art, and Health" by
art historian Lynn Meckler.

A third resource
will be the art in an Oates Journal article, "Art
and Healing: A Personal Reflection" by artist Cherry
Moore.
