<p style='text-align: justify;'> An unnamed female priestess stands on the cracked and vulnerable ground. It is the ground that I stand on as an artist and faithful Christian. Christian Women were not called to the priesthood in the Catholic or Orthodox church but just recently in the Anglican Church. As I began designing the image, I asked myself what are the attributes of bishops? They are considered pillars of the church that lead, protect, heal, teach, prophesy, and administer the sacrament in service. I found these top eight qualities described on the internet: transparent, honest, humble, holy, collaborative, servant, leader, and willing to make tough choices. </p>
