I have had much the same experience myself. A lot of my early life was incredibly isolated from culture due to the fear that I would be somehow "contaminated" by the world. I'm glad to hear that there are more Christians and congregations out there who are taking a more balanced view on the matter. Hi Kylee, thanks for stopping by!

As of about 1 and a half years ago, I started attending an Evangelical Covenent Church which I joined about a year and I am very blessed. Acting, secular music, art was considered to be of Satan. I am truly thankful to be part of a congregation of believers that seeks Christ in all forms of media. I am definitely adding your blog to the blogs that I like list on my blog.

Thanks for stopping by! Wow. "beauty is one of the five senses of Satan's realm"?! That has to be one of the scariest things I've heard in while. Sure Satan can use beauty, but he did not come up with it. Satan can only distort and misappropriate what God has already created. I talk about this in my post on "LOTR and Evil" below.

The evangelical community has nearly always lacked.

There has to be relevance and vitality for great art: perhaps Christianity is beginning to lack?
