In this session from Hutchmoot 2022, Andy Patton asks, "What Is a Christian Game?"

From smartphone apps to Amazon’s algorithms, games and game dynamics are
playing an increasingly significant role in modern life. But what is a “Christian”
game? To begin to answer that question, we have to ask a more primary
question: What does it mean to be human and how can games cause humans to
flourish in the modern world?

In this session from Hutchmoot 2022, Andy Patton asks, "What Is a Christian Game?"
From smartphone apps to Amazon&rsquo;s algorithms, games and game dynamics are playing an increasingly significant role in modern life. But what is a &ldquo;Christian&rdquo; game? To begin to answer that question, we have to ask a more primary question: What does it mean to be human and how can games cause humans to flourish in the modern world?

We call Hutchmoot a “conference for everyone,” so it follows that this is a “podcast for everyone.” This series features sessions recorded at the Rabbit Room’s annual conference which celebrates art, music, story, and faith in all their many intersections.

Far from being an escape from reality, art can be an invitation to align with reality, both for the maker and the recipient. But developing a taste for reality requires both courage and good cheer. The life of Saint Lawrence, patron saint of comedians, will provide a starting point for a discussion of courage, humor, holiness, and creativity.

Do you write, sing, play music, paint, sculpt, dance, etc., but you’re afraid to say you’re an artist? You are not alone! Hear from panelists who have struggled themselves with owning their artistry and still struggle sometimes. Bring questions and expect diverse answers, knowing we are in this together, figuring this thing out called artistry.

Oxford is brimming with stories and rousing conversations that shaped the works of people like C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien. For the last 4 1/2 years, Sally Clarkson has immersed herself in these stories and historical moments while living there and working with people from all over the world. She will share anecdotes from Lewis and wisdom gathered from experiences in Oxford, drawing from her newest book, Well Lived, a photographic journal of Oxford.
