About Origin

he Christian tradition has long insisted that joy is not a mood or a feeling — it is an enduring gift, made possible by the greatest of virtues: love.

We will explore the Christian tradition's understanding of joy and delight through voices from the early Church, the medieval monastic tradition, and modern Christian writers. Drawing especially on the thought of St. Bernard of Clairvaux, the series traces joy as the fruit of love rightly ordered — a transformation that moves the soul from the restless love of self toward the freedom of loving God for God's own sake. In that purification of desire, love becomes joy. And in the modern imagination, thinkers like G.K. Chesterton remind us that delight begins in wonder: the astonished recognition that existence itself is grace.

As in previous years, the series will be explored through two live events — a series-opening lecture featuring Tish Harrison-Warren and a closing session — along with a series companion reader and discussion groups. The companion reader consists of four sessions containing primary theological text along with poetry, visual art, Scripture, reflection, and practice.

Art House Dallas is a 501c3 - our work is done through programs, curated events, community partnerships, and artist care in order to inspire everyone to live more imaginative, meaningful lives.
