This present text seeks to present the relationship between religion and art from Meishu-Sama s thought, founder of Sekai Kyusei Kyo (named Igreja Messiânica Mundial in Portuguese), religion founded in Japan in 1935 and that arrived in Brazil in 1955. To do this, we briefly describe his personal and religious history and the foundations of his teachings. For him, Beauty may promote the salvation of mankind, bringing their spirituality through the contact with various forms of art. The research examines, among others, concepts of Beauty, salvation and religion under the thought of Meishu-Sama. It presents considerations about the religious phenomenon, mainly addressing the aspects of sacred and symbol. Specially, it dialogues with the German theologian Paul Tillich and the Theology of Culture, aiming to establish a rapprochement between the two perspectives with regard to painting. The study describes the salvific power of Beauty in some forms of artistic events and sacred spaces offK.(AU)
