| Итог: | This article argues that visual practices, including image production and use, promote a theology of transformation. To discern the theological implications of these visual practices, this article employs ethnographic research and material analysis of images created and/or used by the Congregation of St. Joseph, a Roman Catholic women’s religious community in the United States. First, it examines the sisters’ prayer with or creation of images as a source of theological reflection. Second, it investigates the deployment of images in various ministries as a means of inviting others into the sisters’ vision of the church. Third, it assesses the commodification of images by the Congregation as a form of evangelisation that engages and challenges the global world. This article concludes that visual practices potentially inspire action for justice and compassion as well as reveal the challenge of manifesting a theology of transformation in a global and plural world. |
