    Appropriation much? Wow.

      Not in the least. A Jewish woman’s prayer corresponding to Jewish theology that would have been taking shape during her time is not appropriation.

    Hi there. My congregation would love to use the image from Robert Moore you used in this blog post for a bulletin cover. We want to give credit to the artist as well as practice ethical use. So far in my research, I can’t find a source. Do you have that information readily available? If so, would you please share?

    Thank you. I am also your revgalblogpal “cousin”, BTW.

      I think that as long as you clearly identify the artwork as being that of Mr. Moore and that it is located in the African Episcopal Church of St. Thomas in Philadelphia Pennsylvania, you will be fine.
