Margaret (Peggy) Adams Parker

Margaret (Peggy) Adams Parker is a longtime liturgical artist and theological educator.  A Senior Lecturer at Virginia Theological Seminary since 1991, she is co-author of Who are you, my daughter? Reading Ruth through Image and Text and Praying the Stations of the Cross – Finding Hope in a Weary Land (which features her woodcut Stations of the Cross.) Her large painted Stations of the Cross were purchased for the University Chapel, Duke University.  Her sculptures have been commissioned by Virginia Seminary and Duke Divinity School, and her sculptures, paintings, and etched glass panels are in churches across the country. 

Parker hopes to enlarge the canon of religious imagery by depicting holy figures as persons from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages.  (Revelation 7:9) Her painting, Holy Christ of the Navajo People, was commissioned by the Episcopal Church of Navajoland, and she is currently working on a Bedouin Christ and Mary for the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem.
