Art is a means of communication, a symbol as a it were that conveys different levels of meaning.
Beauty can only manifest when it is something the viewer can relate to on some level, yet it is above him in its meaning.
There is a mystery to how it came into being, the emotions, the experiences, the material, the challenges of the creator and so forth, all different dimensions of understanding.
An art piece changes in meaning just as our meaning in life changes with it, perhaps we feel a closer connection or more distance.
Yet the meaning we can still recognize because it is speaking to us an internal truth of our unique abilities to create a world that is different and special yet connected to what has always been

The harmony of chords and complementary colors show that distinctions can be bridged together to create a more meaningful whole.
Just as man assumes to be the center of his reality only to to realize any qualities that he contains are properties that are shared among many.
Yet he is entirely distinct from anything else.
The way to bridge the gap between the universal and particular is through the language of symbols that are the very stones of reality.

Anglican here, I had a chat with my parish father and was told that a master of divinity takes 3 years followed by 2 or more years of what he termed clinical placement. after that you can get ordained. i dont know about where you are but in canada we have a major problem with closing churches, my Dioceses is expected to have 81 members in the next 30 years and the Anglican church as a whole in Canada reported deficit for the first time this quarter.( a small one tho only about $1000) so a lot of postiones are not going to be filled. which is just fine.
