<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, asking 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>
