Theotogs? Yes, I created the word! A theotog is a photographer who recognizes that taking photographs can be a spiritual and theological exercise, and that the images themselves can communicate theological and spiritual truths.

Theotogs take photographs and images that reflect more than the reality being photographed or the photographer with her or his photographic skills. They also interpret photographs as to their theological and spiritual message.

My colleague Keith Derrick and I invited members of Western Theological Seminary to join us in forming a Theotog club. The club's first newsletter went out May 2008. The Summer 2009 issue, due out shortly, will address "The six days of creation."

Theotogs continue to thrive at Western Theological Seminary.
