Opening Nov. 10: Greetings from the Cathedral
Hello...
You have wondered into the website of Sarah "Miss Iris" Morrigan. She is a visual artist, writer, and a bishop in the Collyridian Britannic Episcopal Church and its Portland area outreach, Mission of St. Mary the Divine. As an artist she has exhibited her work (primarily mixed-media, watercolour and acrylic paintings) at various Portland area art shows and festivals as well as at a Trinity Arts Commission exhibit at the Trinity Cathedral. Sarah is also available for commissioned projects. Primarily she has worked on storefront windows and murals. See www.oregonwindowandmuralarts.tk for details about this.
Sarah is the creator of the ancient:future iconography & sacred arts, mixed-media paintings and illustrations that combine the symbolisms of the mediaeval and ancient religious arts with the styles of the Art Deco. She is also available for commissioned works.

A feminine-language liturgical project
Sarah takes a lead in undertaking a major liturgical project to publish a new, feminine-language version of a book of common prayer. The project is expected to take at least a year. The project seeks contributors from around the world, and although it will be substantially based on the liturgical structure and philosophy of the Anglican worship service, contributions will be welcome from all who are interested.
This prayer book project will go beyond mere substitution of words from the masculine and patriarchal to the feminine and matrifocal, but will also examine the cosmology, theology and mythology behind every aspect of the liturgies and will recommend appropriate changes to reform what has been lost in centuries of patriarchal - as well as materialistic - interpretations of the sacred worship.
While being framed in feminine language, this project also seeks to preserve the core understanding of a monotheistic faith tradition, and distinguish itself from the contemporary "goddess religions" such as Wicca.
For more information visit CBEC Commission on Liturgies and Worship. Some of the newest entries are also found on the Miss Iris weblog.
Public advocacy and actions
Sarah has also involved herself in public advocacy for poverty/homeless/housing concerns, immigrant rights, civil liberties, global and domestic human rights, and LGBTQIP issues.
She is also a reporter and columnist for Street Roots, one of the best-rated street newspapers in North America. Recently she has done a reportage on the protest at the Portland City Hall and continuing people's organizing in the United Poor People (UPP) and the Homeless Liberation Front (HLF).
Ministries
Sarah served in the past as a priest and episcopal vicar for the Reformed Catholic Church of America, and as a pastor in the Celtic Anabaptist Church. Most recently she served as the general superintendent for the Church of the Divine Heart.
Today she is the rector of the Mission of St. Mary the Divine, and interim vicar of the Mission of St. Lydia, both communities within the Collyridian Britannic Episcopal Church.
