The University of Glasgow has, since 1991, been the home of the Centre for the Study of Literature, Theology and the Arts, an interdisciplinary research centre based in the Department of theology and Religious Studies, but with close academic links in the University with the Departments of English Literature, Philosophy, Art History, as well as with the University of Stirling, the Glasgow School of Arts and the Museums amd Galleries of Glasgow City. Its primary purpose is the promotion of research at postgraduate and higher levels in the field of Theology and the Arts, and it has grown in its interests over the years, for example, recently into the field of creative writing. Some forty doctoral students have graduated from the Centre. It also has close links with the journal Literature and Theology, now edited from Stirling University and the biennial conferences on Literature, Theology and the Arts - of which the next is to be in Aarhus Denmark, in October 2008.Linked, but quite separate from the Centre is the new Chaplaincy to the Arts of the Episcopal Diocese of Glasgow and Galloway, with its Chaplain, the Revd. Dr. Donald Orr, a graduate of the Centre. This Chaplaincy, with the help of the theologian David Jasper, promotes the arts and works closely with such institutions as St. Mungo's Museum of Religions, to sponsor the arts in their visual, musical and literary forms. The Chaplaincy has informal links with the Chaplaincy to the Arts and Recreation in Durham and the North east, but is not specifically tied to it.
John Newling and Richard Davey are developing Road Vines, a mobile hydroponic vine yard which will house a space that unfolds to become a laboratory, workshop and seminar space.
Art and Christianity Enquiry published a report in 2006 on English Cathedrals and the Visual Arts, by Tom Devonshire Jones and Graham Howes.
