Andrew Fellows
Living in the Creator's Gift Economy
In this lecture, Andrew will explore what the gift economy is, and how it contrasts with the market economy. Despite the fact that all of us live every day in "the Creator's gift economy," most of us live our lives with a market mentality. The difference has special relevance for the arts and artists.

At Home in the Borderlands
Artists often move among the borders--they’re “border-stalkers,” according to Makoto Fujimura. This often gives them a feeling of exile, and even loneliness, while they speak and write and create along the edges of things--but perhaps they’re not as alone as they think. Andrew explores the feeling of displacement many artists experience and offers encouragement for the journey in the borderlands.

The Psalm Code: Genesis Imagery in the Psalms
Can you understand the Psalms without understanding the first two chapters of Genesis? Much of the imagery of the Psalms is built upon a handful of core images found in Genesis that appear again and again in the Psalter and throughout Scripture. We will look at where these metaphors come from, how they have shaped biblical poetry, and what they reveal about God himself.
