Our only hope?

In Give Praise to God I’m really confused with the statements he was making about the use of the arts for sharing the gospel.  “So we will be driven to the power of liturgy and the communication of the gospel through the arts.”    “If liturgy possesses its own independent power and the arts may now be our only hope in reaching an idolatrous culture, one wonders whether evangelism and outreach have become euphemisms and apostasy.”

  How is the use of the arts in sharing the gospel a bad thing?  I feel like it’s making it seem like evangelism into a separate category from the arts and that everything has gotten so horrible that “the arts may now be our only hope”. The arts can be a type of outreach, the same as a WOL superbowl. People use their talents to open up opportunities to share the gospel all the time.
