Art & Environment
Crafting sacred space out of a hotel ballroom is always an interesting challenge! This year, a number of people have contributed in small and large ways to the many physical and media items that allow us to experience this space as sacred, not only during our times of worship, but throughout the conference.
The NAMES OF GOD prints seen in the worship space are the work of Dr. Mary Padgelek. You may view these images and her other work, and reach out to Mary, at www.handsofthespirit.com. A descriptive listing of the NAMES OF GOD prints can be found here.
EAD also gratefully acknowledges:
- Sr Marge Clark of NETWORK for the use of the banners of peace in many languages

Worship Committee
Every year's Worship Committee is callled together in the latter months of the year prior to the conference, and each year the effort to craft spirit-filled worship for our gathering draws together different persons who reflect a wide range of gifts. For this year's conference, Holy Wisdom has indeed "called her children" together in a powerful way. The following people have volunteered untolled hours in preparation for the worship experiences of our 2011 conference and through their many gifts are bringing life to a weekend that promises to be rich in spoken and sung prayer, dance and symbol, ritual and spirit!
