Presiding Bishop's Fund Poster. Christian Servanthood is one of the major themes of the 1979 offering materials for the Presiding Bishop's Fund for World Relief. A beige and black poster (above) and matching Sunday bulletin use a detail from Ford Maddox Brown's painting "Jesus Washing Peter's Feet" and a verse from St. John's gospel: "I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done." Many parishes will observe the mid-Lenten World Relief Octave (Mar. 18-25, 1979), although materials are undated and may be used at any time throughout the year. Order forms for materials - 15 pieces in all - were mailed to all parishes, diocesan offices and related networks in November. Additional forms are available from the Fund, Episcopal Church Center, 815 Second Ave., New York, N. Y. 10017. (Painting courtesy of the Tate Gallery, London.)
