Body, Where You Belong by Christ Otto

Body, Where You Belong by Christ Otto

Christian artists and creative people often feel that they have no place to belong. There is a tension between the church world and the art world. Christ John Otto, founder of Belonging House, shows through his experience how the Holy Communion gives artists a place to belong. The Eucharist is sign, symbol, and participation in the promise of Christianity: that we would sit down and eat at the Father's Table. For artists and creative people, it is the inspiration and fuel to be shapers of culture. And for those who feel like they are on the outside, it is the place of belonging.

This book was written for artists and creative people who are called to impact the culture of this world with the culture of heaven. This impact happens when we become disciples, master copies of the Icon of the Father, Jesus Christ.

Body: Where You Belong is the Red Book of Poetic Theology of Artists, a series of big ideas that are essential for artists and creative people to function in their role as culture shapers.

Christ (rhymes with wrist) Otto has been an artist, musician, writer, teacher, pastry chef, and a lot of other jobs in between those ones. Through it all, he is learning how to be a son. After a lot of pain and suffering, a wise priest instructed Christ to Listen to the Lord and do what He tells you. That simple advice has transformed his life and opened the doors to the adventure he now leads in Boston. Christ is a graduate of Houghton College and Asbury Theological Seminary. He is the author of The Glory of a Wasted Life, and is the director of Belonging House in Boston. In 2009 he spearheaded the Red Envelope Project, a movement that eventually sent 3.5 million empty red envelopes to President Barack Obama to protest his stance on abortion. This movement has spread to Canada, the Philippines, France and the United Kingdom. From mid 2009 to early 2011 Christ operated the 333 House of Prayer in relationship with Wisdom Way. He has also served as the interim Executive Director at Daybreak Pregnancy Resource Center. Christ lives by faith and has devoted himself to ministry to the Lord in prayer, to raising up an army of artists, and to re-establish the tabernacle of David in the earth. He is a gifted artist and worship leader, and has been seen painting at conferences and worship events across New England, including the Boston Night of Worship.
