Mako Fujimura: Tim Keller’s Message to ‘Love the City’ Motivated Me as an Artist
If attempting to make it as an artist was an impossible dream as a follower of Christ, then moving my family with three small children into the heart of New York (as friends told us) was ludicrous. But Tim exhorted us as leaders that to truly love the city, we had to be fully incarnate, present to live out our faith in the exilic city of New York: to “love the city” but not to be “of” or “against” the city. This formed the basis for my approach to culture at large, what I later called “culture care.”
