Last spring, out of the blue I received an email from an interfaith organization, The Council of Christians and Jews in the United Kingdom asking if they could use an image of mine from a blog post for their spring magazine cover.
Here’s the link to the post: are we frayed beyond repair?
This sort of request was new for me. I was flattered by the inquiry and proud of the images. I researched the organization to be certain I wanted to allow my permission…then I was truly humbled and honored.
The Council of Christians and Jews:
“We were founded in 1942, at the height of the Second World War and the Holocaust, by Archbishop William Temple and Chief Rabbi Joseph Hertz. We are proud that Her Majesty the Queen has been our patron since 1952.
…and dedicated our work to raising awareness about the persecution and destruction of the Jews of Europe.”

Hate destroys the very structure of the personality of the hater…. when you start hating anybody, it destroys the very center of your creative response to life and the universe; so love everybody.

A secret cabal is taking over the world. They kidnap children, slaughter, and eat them to gain power from their blood. They control high positions in government, banks, international finance, the news media, and the church. They want to disarm the police. They promote homosexuality and pedophilia. They plan to mongrelize the white race so it will lose its essential power.
Does this conspiracy theory sound familiar? It is. The same narrative has been repackaged by QAnon.

Here’s to better days ahead…
Beautiful post, Lisa. Those images are so breathtaking in the context of that pamphlet.

Thank you Maggie. I forgot about it once the pandemic hit. It seemed like the appropriate time to share both my work and the organization formed in 1942.
I think that it is so cool that they used your images!
Thanks Willa. I appreciate you taking a look.
