Churches told to use television

By FRED H. PHILLIPS

FREDERICTON (CP) — “Television is perhaps the most important influence in our lives today, and yet the Christian church is not really learning to. live with the medium,” said Arnold Edinborough, journalist, author and chief executive aificer of the Council for Business and the Arts in Canada.

The prominent Anglican layman delivered a trilogy of speeches during Christ Church Cathedral’s third annual festival of the arts here.

He suggested that the church had not approached television positively, saying that untold millions had seen Kenneth Clark’s TV series, Civilization, in recent years and calling for dramatizations of some of the great biblical figures such as Jesus Christ, Moses or Isaac.

“And photographic techniques could do wonders with Daniel in the lion’s den," he said.

“Television must not be abandoned to the exploiter and the salesman. The church must strive to change the structure of TV and radio,”

IT DOES WELL IN PRINT

Edinborough said the church had done rather well in the print media, though not especially well in the dailies, and called the present religious - press “very good,’” citing the Bible’s mass distribution in paperback format.

“But in the field of elec- tronics we have not done well at all. The world is hungry for a renewed Christian message. The people are beginning to feel that there ig

something better, something greater than man. They are seeking a vision. Let us provide it for them.” .

Speaking on Literature and the Church, he sald Christianity is a format for all the applied and fine arts in Western civilization.

He characterized Christendom in the Middle Ages as “a habit of mind” within which all the applied arts—architecture, glass- making, painting, sculp- ture—worked together toward building the great places of worship.

“This attitude lasted 1,000 years and shaped the whole artistic expression of Western civilization, The invention of printing or, as Marsha McLuhan would say, the introduction of linear messages, replaced the fixed image as the only teaching method for the spread of the word.

“Other social movements also split the community of artists, and the Renaissance finally gave art its own spiritual base: art for its own

2, ; BIBLE ACCOMPANIED ART

“But the movement

toward art for its own sake was accompanied for the first. four centuries after Gutenberg and Caxton by the Bible. For what the Renaissance and Caxton had started, the Reformation fin- ished—the translation and wide distribution of the greatest single repository of morals, ethics, drama and art that the world has so far known, the Bible. ‘

“Tf we do not know the Bible we cannot understand even the images and content of some of the greatest pictures ever painted, the

greatest sculptures ever carved or the greatest music ever written. What can we make of the music of Bach or Beethoven or Handel without the Bible?

“Above all, what can we make of the literature of Western civilization in the last 500 years without a knowledge of the Bible?

“The Bible shows us the totality of the experience and the position of man, not as a petty temporal thing, but as a part of all eternity."

Edinborough said Christians should endeavor to recruit artists to restore this vision.

“We should, as Canadians, take a more active interest in what is being done for the arts by business and, more especially, by govern- ments.”

He cited the $41 million set

aside by the federal govern- mentfor a “unity bash” July 1 while there are “no funds available" for 23 community theatres in the country.

“Could we not assume a degree of unity and assign some of this money to the struggling theatres,’' the speaker asked.
