The Founding Father of Faith Ltd Edition Canvas Framed Art Print

FIRST FRUITS

The Founding Father of Faith

He founded the first Black Episcopal congregation in America and became the first African American priest ordained in the Episcopal Church, building a spiritual home that still stands as a testament to freedom. This reverent Art Deco tribute captures Absalom Jones at the height of his ministry: the St. Thomas African Episcopal Church rises behind him like the Philadelphia congregation he founded in 1792, the prayer book waits in his hands, and the broken chains suggest the abolitionist cause he championed. The candle burns with the light of faith, the baptismal font suggests the sacraments he administered, and the Philadelphia skyline rises with the city that both enslaved and freed him. This is the portrait of a man who proved that faith could be a fortress, that the first Black priest in America could build a church that would outlast empires, and that the first fruits of freedom are always planted in prayer.
