The image at top is by Fay Barratt, who has spent decades trying to excavate the "lost women" of the Jesus movement through both study and by "bringing forth" the images within her. The list of women who followed Jesus is long, and few of them are commonly known names. Many of them do not even have names, only encountersHow desperately we need images to replace the missing pieces.
