Can art play a role in Christian mission? Find out in this interview with Catalyst Live contributor Anneke Kaai

The Church needs art. This is what Dutch artist Anneke Kaai believes. Studying art in Amsterdam during the time of the ‘God is dead’ movement in the 60s and 70s, Anneke decided that she would use her art to show the world that he is alive.
