Liturgical Art does not just entertain, or use reality instrumentally, it gathers reality and refocuses it towards its divine purpose, thereby transfiguring it. This is ultimately a shade of the purpose of man in creation. To expand Eden into our personal worlds. To imbue life with purpose and beauty. To offer it all up to God in worship. By carrying out the actions of Christ in the world, we are being the body of christ, and are therefore transfigured ourselves.

This is an intelèctulization of Orthodoxy. More Anglican than Orthodox.
