Engaging the creative momentum of Genesis 1:1- “In the beginning God created” – BGU’s Leadership in the Arts Concentration addresses the confluence of faith, imagination, beauty and art as a force for authentic cultural change. Epic and generative in scope, this study awakens the heart and soul of leaders (Matt.22:37) to engage transformational concepts related to imagination, beauty and the arts as a means of cultivating healing, creative shalom in organizations and cities.
