Quartz at St Johns Dumfries

Quartz at St Johns Dumfries Every service held in St Johns involves the use of artistic expression spanning thousands of years of Church history. So we go out to watch, listen, and learn.

This is a place where people who have been involved in Creative worship with St John's Episcopal church can share images and keep in touch with each other and the wider community. Some of the events we run however specifically seek to experiment with new forms of artistic expression and to embody the tradition we have received to express it in fresh and creative ways. As well as asking people to "

come and see" we also ask those within the church community to "come out and find". This active search for God at work follows the example of Jesus who was not content to rest in heaven, but instead became a human baby. Creation on a cosmic scale also being experienced dragged through the muck along with the rest of us. Then reflect on and express the experience with the people of peace we find along the way.

Jesus migrated from heaven to earth. Vulnerable as a child his family became refugees. He was tortured and killed by those trapped in politics. He descended into hell, migrating again, but this time in order to free all those captive there, and to return with 'treasure' liberated for the good of all.

There is much we who are settled can learn from those who are not. Hospitable folk have even entertained Angels and did not know it.
