As Christians, we are concerned with three qualities: the good, the true, and the beautiful.
These are the virtues that touch the very heart of Christianity. It is a triad of values, each of which points beyond itself to the character of God.
We care about truth because God is Truth. We care about beauty because God is Beautiful.
...If we cut the aesthetic element from our triad of virtues we are left with a truncated Christianity and a God who at best is dull, and at worst, is ugly.
