Meet your guides!

 

My name is Professor Rachel Fulton Brown. I am the professor your other professors warned you about! I believe in the reality of truth, beauty, goodness, and love. And I am inviting you aboard the Mosaic Ark to experience the world—all of Creation—as a literal and mystical revelation of God.

 

Join me and my co-hosts Kimberly Crilly, Kilts Khalfan, and Mel Wiggin for a guided journey through the wilds of our post-Enlightenment, yet still medieval culture. Inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien’s Mythopoeia, our mission is to re-enchant the world by presenting a new perspective on every subject that makes up the Mosaic of Creation.

 

Christianity, America, the Western tradition of theology, art, philosophy, music, education, and letters—even science fiction, fantasy, and magic; all these and more are on our itinerary as we take a deep dive into the history and motivations of the world's great artists and storytellers. We reveal their methods and unlock their secrets, using the creative process to understand Creation itself.

 

Every week, we will bring you reflections on the stories and images that fuel our modern mythologies, from early medieval history to the studios of Hollywood, through the great looking glass of the Internet. Ride the Mosaic Ark with us into the Light of Our Lord Jesus Christ as we learn to recognize our world and ourselves as beloved creatures of God.

 

We look forward to welcoming you on board!

Why an Ark?

In the Scriptures, there are a number of arks: Noah's ark, Moses's ark, and the ark seen by John in Revelation when the Temple opened and the Woman appeared clothed with the sun and crowned with stars. Just as Noah's ark rode the waters of the Flood, our Mosaic Ark rides the streams of the Internet carrying the dove of the promise of God’s providence through the tumult of our modern media maelstrom.

Our Ark is “Mosaic” to reflect the pattern given to Moses on the mountain. This pattern carried the template of the Temple of which the Church is the reality (see the Letter to the Hebrews), and with it we hope to understand the template of our world.

The Ark carries the Lord historically and mystically: we ride the Ark of our livestream in search of the patterns by which we recognize the Creator.

“Blessed are the men of Noah’s race that build 

their little arks, though frail and poorly filled, 

and steer through winds contrary towards a wraith, 

a rumour of a harbour guessed by faith.”

—J.R.R. Tolkien, Mythopoeia
