The life of the artist Mountain Dew is truly an untold story. And it\u2019s a story that will remain untold, at least for now. We\u2019re going to keep him under a pseudonym. But he\u2019s given us permission to display his art.<\/p>\n

Mountain Dew is a very creative thinker about religion. In person, his perspective on the Eucharist comes across as sophisticated and sincere \u2014 the product of complex self-reflection, compassion for the suffering, unique imagination, and devout practice.<\/p>\n

Can someone really understand their religion, if they can\u2019t be sometimes silly about it?<\/p>\n
