And where?” (P23-117) 11:00 AM-12:30 PM, Marriott Inner Harbor Grand Ballroom East Chair: Kim Vrudny, University of St. Thomas, St. Paul, Minn. (USA) Presenters: Frank Burch Brown, Christian Theological Seminary, Indianapolis (USA) Larry Bouchard, University of Virginia (USA) Maeve Heaney, Australian Catholic University (Australia) Russell Re Manning, University of Aberdeen (Scotland) Respondent: David Brown, University of St. Andrews (Scotland) Orpheus, in ancient mythology, used music and poetry to exercise sacred powers, with consequences sometimes marvelous, sometimes tragic. What are the powers of artistry with respect to theology? What does art potentially offer, and potentially receive, in the theological realms (whether Hades or Heaven, or Earth in transformation)? Frank Burch Brown's opening paper poses questions and answers that grow out of his own work as a musician and theologian of aesthetics, drawing also on the proposals of British theologian David Brown. Panelists are Catholic as well as Protestant, with expertise in the arts, theology, and ethics.
