From the Byzantine Catholic ghetto
Posted by tom | Aug 26, 2005Came across Glimpses of God Outside the Temple: The spiritual vision of Vincent Van Gogh, Georgia O'Keefe, and Andy Warhol
the other day.
I must say that it is good to raise our kids in Warhol's Byzantine Catholic ghetto of Pittsburgh. The community of South Oakland also served as home to Hall of Fame Quarterback Dan Marino. Those on our block give more attention to Marino, but I am reminded of Warhol every day when I see my Campbell's soup can in the cupboard while packing my lunch to head to Carnegie Mellon where he majored in pictoral design. Quite a responsibility to share Christ w/future spiritual visionaries . . . pray for the grace to provide direction for those which I encounter, whether they be in the arts, computer science, or chemical engineering.
