New art gallery, 'Saints & Family,' launched on Episcopal Church web site
By Jerry Hames
[Episcopal Life] A new gallery of works by Episcopal artists, titled "Saints & Family" was launched this week on the homepage of Episcopal Church's web site at http://www.episcopalchurch.org.
The images and icons span the history of the Christian church, beginning with the announcement of the birth of Jesus through to the present decade. As with the preceding gallery, "The Faces of Christ," which debuted with the unveiling of the church's redesigned web site two years ago, members of the Episcopal Church and Visual Arts collaborated in the development of this new gallery.
"These images and icons of saints and Jesus' family invite us into an intimate space where we see the sacred and human come together in art," says the curator's statement that accompanies the gallery. "A mother holds her tender, holy child. A father fishes with his Savior son. Cousins comfort each other and point to a new way. An apostle pauses, inspired, imprisoned. An abbess and abbot lead their flocks wisely. A Cheyenne chief and Chinese priest embrace the Word. A freed slave leads us to deeper truths."
