St. Luke’s Episcopal • Salisbury, NC
Join the Racial Justice and Reconciliation Committee on a pilgrimage to see the Beloved Community Icon Project at St. Luke’s Salisbury.
About the Beloved Community Icon Project
More than religious art, icons are prayers in color and line. The Beloved Community Icon Project aims to enhance the worship spaces of St. Luke’s with images that reflect the diversity, beauty, and witness of God’s people.
The beautiful icons at St. Luke’s include images of people of color – such as Manteo, the first person baptized in the Church of England in the western hemisphere, and Elizabeth Duncan Koontz, the first African-American president of the National Education Association. St. Luke’s also has two large icons by renowned iconographer Kelly Latimore, featuring people of many ethnicities and backgrounds.
