PhD Gallery exhibits art of the Rev. Susan Nanny (2009)

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009


For the past several months, the Rev. Susan Nanny has been creating pieces out of found wood, aged and fossilized through the journey down the Mississippi River. Nanny has been creating these pieces, not necessarily for exhibit or sale, and was surprised when a gallery owner asked if she would consider exhibiting them.

Vestiges is the name of the group show at PhD Gallery, 2300 Cherokee in St. Louis. The show runs from Oct. 3 through Nov. 14, with the opening reception Saturday night, Oct. 3rd, from 7-10 pm.

Notes for the Journey: the Lui Children’s Art Project from the Rev. Anne Kelsey (2009)

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

When I first met Bishop Bullen Dolli at the fall convention of the Diocese of Missouri in 2005, I told him as much out of politeness as anything else, that I would like to go to Lui. His reaction wasn’t a conventional response; it was, “When will you come?” I never really expected it to happen. I was the rector of Trinity, served on Diocesan Council, and had much to keep me more than busy as it was. Southern Sudan was a world away, literally, and I did not think that I had anything much to offer on any kind of mission trip. Then Bishop Smith called and asked if I would go to Lui with him, the Canon to the Ordinary the Rev. Dan Smith, and the President of Standing Committee, Ida Early, in April of 2006. We would be formally representing the Diocese of Missouri and signing the Covenant agreement between the two dioceses.

In conjunction with Trinity Institute’s annual theological conference, which will address Building an Ethical Economy: Theology and the Marketplace in January 2010, Trinity Church Museum will present an international documentary photography exhibition that will capture this moment of economic, social, and spiritual change.
