This project asks the question, 'Can I develop the pottery ministry of Idlewild Presbyterian Church of Memphis, Tennessee, enabling participants to have a tactile and visual encounter with the Reformed doctrines of Creation, Redemption and Sacramental Presence?' The project explores the critical relationship between arts and theology, as explored in a praxis model of integration, through pottery. Writings of theologians John Calvin, Paul Tillich, Michael Polanyi, Douglas John Hall, and artists M. C. Richards, Paulus Berehnson, Catherine Kapikian, and Daniel de Montmollin, Brother of Taize, are considered. Church members, staff, and participants in More than a meal program at Idlewild Church, a program for persons who are homeless or living in compromised situations, were invited to join a series of pottery classes, resulting in nearly sixty persons working together every week, over a seven-week period, concluding with an exhibit of 652 finished pots. The final chapter of this thesis includes evaluative remarks from the Idlewild Presbyterian Church community, and specific suggestions for churches or communities who wish to establish a pottery ministry.
