The Divine Comedy –
Celebrating Creativity and the Theatre of Faith

Ken Crawford
 Matthew 13:31-35; 1 Corinthians 4:8-13

Within the Judeo-Christian tradition we encounter the principles of theatre, even if these ancient cultures avoided the Greek and Roman theatrical experiences. When we read in Exodus and Leviticus about the construction of the Tabernacle and all the preparations and process for worship, we see the instructions for a theatrical production. The theatre and stage are present. The actors (priests and people) are given speaking parts, blocking of movement, costumes and props to enact this drama. Even today most Christian worship services are theatrical in nature. We employ words and actions and objects and images as symbols to re-enact and tell the story of our faith to ourselves and others. Sometimes we explicitly include a drama or sketch or other “formal” theatre element. But always we are engaged in the theatre of faith. Likewise in the world we are enacting a role given to us by scripture and church teaching, employing the method acting technique where we “become the character” in our performance. Over time, this aspirational performance process transforms us until (hopefully) we truly do become what God intends. Eventually we no longer “just play the part” but we fully embody the role – just as we describe all great theatrical performances.

 How does your life receive and reflect the Christian story? What do you create in the world for others to encounter and experience? Where do you go to receive the stories that will shape and transform you to be more like Christ tomorrow than you were yesterday? What story are you telling with your life?
