THE LAST SUPPER PANEL: IN ABSENTIA

THE LAST SUPPER

(Olivia stands up and take mic and goes to center "stage".use hand gestures as "translation" this part...put mic down and then do hand gestures as if translating using sign language)

Nicolas,Thank you so much for inviting me to this very important panel and bringing the topic of art and religion into the light of dialogue and good natured critique. As I told you on the phone, I cant come personally but am sending Olivia Aldin, artist and friend, to represent me.
If the title were different, I could be there but now that I am a practicing Roman Catholic,(see www.lindamontano.org for the story of my return to Catholicism) I have had to edit my life and art actions, thoughts and words so that they are congruent with Roman Catholic church teachings. And as you know, for Catholics, the original LAST SUPPER is an incredibly important sacred event that happened over 2000 years ago and is re-enacted everytime the Catholic priest transforms ordinary bread and wine into CHRIST'S Body and Blood, Soul and Divinty at Holy Mass,a sacred event happening every day ,minute by minute, all over the world.

In a spirit of ecumenism and to demonstrate that practicing Catholics CAN HAVE FUN,I am participating here tonight by offering 7 prizes that I made. They are ebayable .I also offer a good laugh as you listen to evangelist Joyce Meyers who will read true stories that children said in Bible classes.
