Call: Visual Preludes

General Convention is coming this June - and ECVA has a wonderful role in
it. We've once again been asked to provide multimedia visual arts presentations,
"Visual Preludes," to accompany each of the nine worship services to be conducted
at the Convention.

The overall theme of General Convention is "Come and Grow," derived from
Ephesians 4:15 (NIV): "... speaking the truth in love, we will in all things
grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ." We're seeking artwork
that responds to one or more of the following subthemes, each keyed to one
day's worship service:

Day 1: "Gracious Spirit"
Day 2: "Spiritual Sight"
Basil the Great, Bishop of Caesarea, 379
Day 3: "For She is the Breadth of the Power of God"
(30th anniversary of the ordination of women)
Evelyn Underhill, Theologian and Mystic, 1941
Day 4: "Friendship with God"
Joseph Butler, Bishop of Durham, 1752
Day 5: "Bread of Life"
Convention Eucharist and UTO Ingathering
Bernard Mizeki Catechist and Martyr in Rhodesia, 1896
Day 6: "God's Work"
Election of a Presiding Bishop
2nd Sunday after Pentecost
Day 7: "Love Astounding"
Day 8: "Wisdom of God"
Day 9: "All Things into Christ"

The Visual Preludes will not only be seen by thousands of attendees during
General Convention, but will also be mounted as an exhibition on the ECVA
website.

We warmly urge each of you to consider submitting your artwork. You can
