I know, that&#8217;s not really a hot topic for Baptists, but strangely enough that is what they wanted me to talk about.

		<description><![CDATA[From Brandon O&#8217;Brien at Out of Ur: I don’t mean that evangelicals produce bad art (although we do), and I’m not issuing a call for more sophisticated creative engagement with culture (though we need one). Imagination is broader than that. &#8230; <a href="http://pursiful.com/2011/08/the-scandal-of-the-evangelical-imagination/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
