A Theresian

|
The USA National Conference in Fort Bend, Texas, in 2013 created the beautiful theme of Crossing New Thresholds Toward the Horizon. As seen on the cover of this booklet, the artwork to accompany the theme was painted by Jeff Howell (husband of Fort Bend Theresian Ramah Howell) and is rich in Theresian symbolism. Each of the Five Dimensions is represented by an element in the painting and we want to share this renewed understanding. |
