Soulcraft is context in which people from different ethnic, religious and social background could start and cultivate their fellowship with Jesus Christ. The context is consisted of seekers, beginners, returners, atheists, pacifists and other types of people who gather to be inspired in their walk with God and take part in different activities such as: regular, Sunday's Soulcraft services (map), seminars for married couples, summer gathering, lectures, discussion groups. We hope that you will be able to take part in these activities, and that you can start, deepen and cultivate your spiritual life together with us.
When thinking about Soulcraft, about the basics, concept and the phenomenology, three figures comes to my mind: Jesus, Kandinsky and Miroslav Volf. What can we say more about Jesus. Kandinsky? Because of his attitude towards art and everything that art represent. In his work "Concerning the spiritual in art", he says that every artist should be child of the time in which he creates. In that sense, the artist either creates in contemporary manner, or give birth to dead arts. What this has to do with the church today? It has a lot. Either she will be up to date with expressive forms in the time she dwells, or it risks to be boil down to a religious ornament or national adornment from the past - without relevancy in the presence.
This doesn't mean that Jesus' message and church tradition are being rescind. Quite contrary, she will remain the backbone of the church forever but, in the same time, the church will have to take over the grand task of translation the eternal divine content and truth in modern way and form. And now Mr. Miroslav Volf. According to him, in the briliant translation of the jewish concepts and message of the new testament for broader roman-hellenic culture and off course in their enrichment, we can find the hard-working genius of early church fathers. Here is the task that church has to set today, if it wants to be descendant of fathers not in body but in spirit.
Yours and on behalf of Soulcraft,
Nikola
