The following selected
sites offer helpful visual arts resources. There is a natural emphasis on
Lutheran, Canadian and ecumenically accessible worship and liturgy-related
materials.
We would be grateful to hear of any sites offering visual arts resources
congenial to Western Rite Christianity, in general, and to the
evangelical-catholic tradition of the Lutheran community, in particular. We look
forward to the creation of reciprocal links to ecumenical worship and
liturgy-related venues. Contact Wendell Grahlman [e-mail] to
suggest possible links.
