“Generative Love as the Character of God – Making Art and the Theology of Failure” – Bethany Tobin

Summary: Local artist and former seminary student Bethany Tobin shares her artwork in the Chapel Gathering in the Seminary. Tobin is passionate about creating works of art that engage the life of discipleship to Christ. She has exhibited work in Virginia and North Carolina and has completed several commissions and murals. In 2006 she received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting and drawing from James Madison University and in 2009, a Master of Theological Studies in Theology and the Arts from Duke University. You can find more information and artwork on her website: www.bethanytobin.com. Feel free to engage her artwork during the podcast when she invites the audience to come forward to spend time viewing the art. Services held in Martin Chapel at Eastern Mennonite Seminary are planned by the Seminary community but open to all.
