Psalm 23 & Henry Ossawa Tanner

In this “Space for God: Beauty” devotional, Scott Buresh (Coracle Community Minister) guides us into an encounter with an artistic interpretation of Psalm 23 by African-American painter Henry Ossawa Tanner.  Scott first offers space for imaginative prayer with both the psalm and the painting, and then he unfolds how Tanner’s life is reflected in his loving depiction of the Good Shepherd.
