The early Mormon settlers called this the Holy Ghost panel. But we have no idea what the artists called it, only that they put it in a beautiful place, far from the Colorado River, on a south facing wall in a remote canyon on the Colorado Plateau. Estimates for its age vary from 1500 to 4000 years ago.
Great art and great landscapes go together. We are blessed to live in such a wondrous place. As we prepare for the synod assembly and the election of a new Bishop and bidding farewell to Bishop Allan, is it too much to invoke the "holy Ghost" to be with us as the landscape of our church changes, to invoke the spirit to help us discern our path and our witness? So we do. So we do.
