Origami doves and flames invaded St. John's at Pentecost, spanning the large nave, diagonally suspended from black nylon cable so as to appear to float. The flames hung directly over the center aisle, almost touching the heads of those walking beneath. Any soft movement of air (Spirit?) caused them to move. They remained in place until All Saints when they were 'parted out' to those who were remembering anyone absent from them – whether by death, distance or circumstance. They were sent all over the world. Who would have known how empowered some bits of paper could become, except when inspired by the Holy Spirit?
