The Presbyterian Church, USA, is in crisis. Membership decline has been steady and unrelenting. Yet, for a few more years, members remain who can remember a time when this branch of God's Church was vibrant and healthy. Art, in most forms, has been an underutilized resource in the Reformed Tradition. This project was an attempt to explore one approach to using art in the church in an effort to stimulate memory for the purpose of discovering ways that the church might recover its sense of health and vitality. Through this ministry tool, photography was employed to create a communal project that took the form of an exhibition within a local church. A questionnaire was then used to sample the responses of viewers of this exhibit. These responses revealed a wealth of memories and experiences. Conclusions were drawn from these responses for the purpose of strengthening the church and the The Church.
