                <text>ÔÇ£The goal of this project was to systematically introduce art images into local churches through the Revised Common Lectionary Project online that might help aid in a departure from systemic racism and marginalization of those who fall outside of what VDS Dean Emilie Townes calls the ÔÇÿwhite hegemonic imagination.ÔÇÖ┬á Thus, introducing new images into churches who access this website (over 200,000 on Easter Sunday alone, for example) might increase our imaginations of what it looks like to practice peace, love, joy, hope and faith.┬á This project is meant to make way for more representation of those who are often marginalized or misunderstood.┬áMany local churches only access art through this website for their Sunday bulletins and so I wanted to introduce new artists to local churches and I hope that this project will continue to be updated.┬á I really believe in the power of art in an age of Instagram and visual entertainment.┬á This could help those who process and express themselves more non-verbally have access to progress as well, hopefully.┬á This is a matter of progress for the imagination.ÔÇØ</text>

                <text>ÔÇ£Vanderbilt Divinity School (VDS) introduced me to artists like Omari Booker, Kelly Latimore, and Lauren Wright Pittman of lewpstudio.com, to name a few.  The Divinity School also increased my imagination about the world I live in, helping me see how people of color are marginalized and oppressed.  While I knew about that, I didn't understand the depth of racism and did not know how to begin the path toward antiracism until having attended VDS.  The first step, according to Ibram Kendi, is admitting that we are sometimes being racist or taking part in what Dean of VDS calls the ÔÇÿwhite hegemonic imagination.ÔÇÖ  Thus, churches can be perpetuating systemic racism when all of their images only include people with white skin.  So, I wanted to continue the Revised Common Lectionary project alongside the Divinity Library by introducing even more artists whose images move our imaginations away from a culture of whiteness and toward progress on the road to healing racial division.  Since this website is used by so many churches, I wanted to introduce these artists in a place that is already a widely-used source for those who use the Revised Common Lectionary.  The goal is to meet people where they are and include new artists into an on-going, established platform.ÔÇØ</text>

                <text>ÔÇ£This collage represents a portion of the artists included in my part of the Revised Common Lectionary project.  Through this pre-established project used by so many local churches, I was able to introduce new images by new artists and hopefully, in a small way, thus increase our imaginations about what it looks like to be a saint, what holy animals look like in different regions, and introduce new artists to the local church.  I am fascinated by visual art and wanted to share my joy in this way and communicate nonverbally, which is more a strength of mine than the verbal, what I find to be important images for our time.  I think that which is visual is key in an age of Instagram for communicating our values and increasing our spiritual imaginations.  The artists included in this project were so generous with local churches to let us include these works and I am beyond grateful to them for that and for their work which encourages me and inspires me about the future of our world which is a more inclusive, just and colorful one!ÔÇØ</text>

                <text>This drawing is from a 12th century manuscript, &lt;em&gt;Hortus Deliciarum (The Garden of Delights)&lt;/em&gt;, compiled by Herrad of Landsberg. God uses Jesus ChristÔÇÖs human nature as bait to fish for the sea monster, Leviathan. The fishing line is comprised of several patriarchs and prophets, resembling a Jesse Tree. Jesus Christ positioned at the end of the hook is crucified on the cross, which serves as bait that Leviathan is to swallow, his jaw pierced by the hook. For centuries, traditional Christian exegesis has understood the story of Job as a prefiguring of Christ, who suffers and is redeemed.</text>

                <text>There are around fifteen Muslim manuscript illuminations sourced from the &lt;em&gt;Qisas al-Anbiya (Stories of the Prophet)&lt;/em&gt;, notwithstanding the traditional avoidance of images in Islamic art. They all illustrate the culminating scene of JobÔÇÖs restoration. Ishaq ibn Ibrahim al-Nishapuri, a 16th century Iranian artist, depicted the restored Job on the left sitting in healing water, the angel Gabriel in the center, and the wife Rahma on the right with a bowl of food in her hand. In accordance with Islamic interpretation, JobÔÇÖs wife accompanies him faithfully so that Job can endure and outlast the unprecedentedly cruel tests. She is therefore entitled to share the reward of the fruit of paradise with Job.</text>

                <text>William Blake (1757-1827) is recognized for his poetry, engraving, painting, and printmaking. Afflicted with poverty and anonymity, Blake reveals his empathy with Job by means of his pictorial engagements with the Book of Job multiple times throughout his life. Illustrations of the Book of Job, noted as his greatest masterpieces, consists of a series of twenty-two engravings and complemented by two sets of watercolors to illustrate various scenes from the Book of Job. &lt;em&gt;Job and His Family Restored to Prosperity&lt;/em&gt; was from his first set of watercolors, produced for his patron, Thomas Butts, around 1805. The chords that the daughters hold in their hands have been interpreted to signify healing and spiritual gifts. This final painting of the set emphasizes that JobÔÇÖs faith in God prevails.</text>

                <text>This bronze sculpture made in 1961 manifests the Japanese artist Goro KekeiÔÇÖs interpretation of JobÔÇÖs trial imposed by God. Job, presented as an innocent boy, faces Satan alone and appears unaware of God who is standing on the platform behind him. God, separated from Job and Satan, dominates and oversees the whole encounter. Satan holds out a disproportionately oversized left hand, which is considered a symbol of power in Japanese culture. Job, in contrast, is depicted without a left hand. Job is oblivious to the conversation between the two powers and is caught up by a childish game of rock-paper-scissors that God and Satan are playing. Shocked by SatanÔÇÖs attack, Job doesnÔÇÖt seem intimidated but holds his head up high.</text>

                <text>ÔÇ£Thank you!  This is so exciting ÔÇª Our children are especially excited about the MAFA pictures.  One Sunday I printed out the picture of Simeon and Anna in the Temple, Simeon holding Jesus, and gave it to the children before I preached.  Then I could say to the children ÔÇ£see the man holding Jesus...ÔÇØ  It was very successful. Many of our children are foster children and are very shy and reserved, all have suffered abuse.  It was so exciting to see them come alive with these gorgeous images - looking very like them ÔÇª I am Caucasian and so it is important for them to know that these images of African people are beautiful to me.ÔÇØ  Rev.
