Prayers of the Church Community Art Project
Between January and September 2016, Thomas led a team of 60+ parishioners in a community art project to create and permanently install 230 screen-printed, stitched and embroidered textile panels in Christ Church Cathedral's west alcove. The project connects prayer with hand-work.
