Message Board From time to time the Board of Directors elects as Fellows
individuals it identifies as having made a distinguished contribution to
their respective fields. The list of Fellows elected over a period of nearly
four decades thus exemplifies what the Society understands as the necessary
and vital connections between art, religion and culture. ARCHIVE May 2001 February 2001 November 2000 May 2000 February 2000 November 1999 May, 1999 February, 1999 October, 1998
