Lexicon of Human Dignity

Dr. Colleen Morich, Epiphanite and founder of the Lexicon of Human Dignity, is displaying 5 of the 12 Informational Artworks in the Gallery through March 22. The last of the series has been finished and is “Good Trouble,” highlighting Congressman John Lewis.

The Lexicon of Human Dignity artwork highlights Thought Leaders from the Atlanta area, across many disciplines. Informational Artworks are the cornerstone of this project. They provide easy to understand picture-based stories of how our Thought Leaders are working in their respective fields to support Human Dignity in our neighbors across the Atlanta Region. By illuminating the vocabulary of Human Dignity, and with it the conversation about the challenges facing our neighbors, their insights help educate, engage and activate people to pay closer attention to how we might support their Human Dignity.

The Episcopal Church of the Epiphany sponsored the Lexicon of Human Dignity project. You can learn more at www.lohd.org and visit all 12 of the Informational Artworks, including the 5 that will be displayed this time in the gallery.

The Episcopal Church Women (ECW) sponsor a pantry drive in March and October for Emmaus House for items not covered by the Food Stamp Program. This time for the month of March, we are collecting disposable underwear for men and women—all sizes, and diapers for babies/children—all sizes. Bins for donations are in the gallery.
