This spring, Augsburg鈥檚 Campus Ministry welcomed the Rev. Paul Oman鈥攁 professional watercolorist whose artistic work draws inspiration from his experiences, travels, and Lutheran faith鈥攖o take part in a three-day worship event on campus. Oman created a large-scale painting of Jesus during Daily Chapel services as on-campus worshipers took part in music, prayer, spoken word, and Scripture.
Oman鈥檚 visual ministry, known as 鈥淒rawn to the Word,鈥 offered the Augsburg community the opportunity to engage in conversation and reflection on race, radical hospitality, reformation, faith, and the Lutheran tradition that continues to shape the College鈥檚 identity. The painting is on display in the Hoversten Chapel in Foss Center.
