Congratulations on being accepted into the Anselm Society Arts Guild!

Use the options at right to sign up to pay your dues either monthly or annually. If you have any questions about meeting times or locations, Guild norms, or anything else, contact the Guild leadership. (Bonus: membership gets you access to our rich archive of past lectures and conference video!)

As you get started with the Guild, we highly recommend starting to read one of the books we’ll give you:

• “Why We Create” is a fast but deep dive into how Christians can locate their creativity within their relationship with God.

• “The Humble Creative” seeks to apply that theology in the practical act of creating, by exploring the ways we accidentally absorb secular ideas about creativity that actually hold us back, and re-discovering the Christian virtues that can unleash our creativity.

• “Bandersnatch” then gets into some valuable tips and tricks for how to “do” creative community well, drawing inspiration from Lewis, Tolkien, and the Inklings. Diana Glyer’s insights in this book have powerfully influenced how we’ve designed the Guild.
