Arts
In an introduction to the hymnbook of Johann Walther in 1525, Luther wrote concerning music and the arts:
“I greatly desire that youth, which, after all, should and must be trained in music and other proper arts, might have something whereby it might be weaned from the love ballads and the sex songs and, instead of these, learn something beneficial and take up the good with relish, as befits youth. Nor am I at all of the opinion that all the arts are to be overthrown and cast aside by the Gospel, as some superspiritual people protest; but I would gladly see all the arts, especially music, in the service of Him who has given and created them.“
To the end of serving the Triune God “who has given and created” the art, Grace Lutheran seeks, to glorify God through its stained glass creations, concerts, dance and support of the Grunewald Guild.
