We want creativity to be a part of our community life. It is an essential part of our expression of our relationship to God our Creator, and we see it as a means of drawing closer to the Lord and offering worship to him. Creativity is a part of our heritage as a community: our founder, Calum, is a skilled painter, and many other members of our community are craftspersons and musicians. There are a thousand ways to be creative! Our hope is that, like the old monasteries of Europe, Craig Lodge can become a place where creatives can truly thrive, where beautiful things can be made to glorify God and minister to the world, and where craft is a normal expression of relationship with God.
