The book offers an insightful look at this and other dilemmas facing parishes today. This is essential reading for catechists, clergy and parish and religious education leaders. There is more to the faith experience than simply attending church on Sunday. Catechesis is vital to the life of the local church, but it loses most of its power when people fail to integrate what they learn in the classroom into their daily lives.

Michael Warren is a Modern English London based Artist who has been drawing and painting contemporary London life for the past twenty years. He has had a number of one-man shows and has contributed to many mixed exhibitions including The Royal Academy; The Singer and Freidlander (The Sunday Times Water Colour Exhibition); and The Royal Water Colours Society Exhibition. Michael Warren studied initially at Sidcup and then at Goldsmiths and at the St. Martin's School of Art. He spent over 3 years drawing and painting The Household Cavalry Division at Knightsbridge Barracks. As a British artist of 20th century he exhibited a series of watercolours of the soldiers and their horses at their daily activities and ceremonial duties at the Montpelier Studio in both 1983 and 1986. Michael was the official British artist, employed by London's world famous landmark, the Battersea Power Station to cover the start of demolition from 1988 to 1990, where he collated a commissioned work collection of drawings and paintings which will shortly be published in book form to coincide with the regeneration of the old power station area. Since the early 1990's, Michael has been devoting an increasing amount of time to working in oils. His work is figurative with an emphasis on the urban landscape. He shows how people living in a large city physically exist in close proximity and yet manage to remain somehow separate from one another. He has received many prestigious corporate and private commissions as one of the most famous British artists, including the official commission from the Household Cavalry to paint the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of York in 1985, and his painting entitled 'Regeneration of the City', was officially presented by Battersea Power Station to the then Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher.

Shorelines: Birds at the water's edge

Times Books

This book explores how culture functions and intersects with religious groups, particularly Christians. It explores the way electronic communications, especially film and television, shape our world of meaning. Using the theories of British thinker Raymond Williams as his framework, Warren focuses on the actual process by which versions of reality are produced, the production of signification. He also draws on the ideas of Paulo Freire pointing out that cultural agency happens when individuals decide to exercise some judgment and control over the kinds of cultural material they will accept or resist.
If culture is a signifying system, says Warren, then religion is too. Contrasting values from the wider culture create dilemmas for those trying to follow a religious life. Choices either mirror the wider culture or reflect a culture of resistance. Warren seeks to help the reader develop the skills of cultural analysis by paying attention to the images that support culture, examining the life structures that support culture, and paying attention to how any particular aspect of culture is produced. Beyond all this, however, the author calls for a stance of resistance to all that violates human dignity and unity--all the aspects of culture that persons with high religious ideals cannot accept.

Michael Warren seeks in this book to develop strategies to counteract the Christian church's loss of cultural influence in an age of electronic media. While Christianity should offer a vision of things shaped by its own patterns of communal living, it is often stymied in the process of religious formation by the powerful influence of the messages the electronic media convey. Part of the religious leaders task, therefore, is to break the uncritical view of film and television and to introduce reasoned judgment about what Christians should either value or condemn in them.Seeing Through the Media attempts to put basic skills of cultural analysis into the hands of ordinary persons, particularly those who gather with others guided by a religious tradition to worship God. These skills include: a rethinking of the word culture itself; finding the usually anonymous names and faces behind any electronic communication; understanding how culture is produced; skill in decoding the iconic images we see and the metaphoric images by which we see; the ability to evaluate what we see and hear; and new forms of personal and communal agency.“A profound and engaging study in which weighty issues are handled with commendable clarity and concision.” –Chris Arthur, University of WalesMichael Warren is Professor for Religious Education and Catechetical Ministry in the Department of Theology, St. John’s University, New York, and the author of Faith, Culture, and the Worshiping Community and Youth, Gospel, Liberation.
