It has interesting articles and useful information for both established iconographers and for those just starting out. UK members will have a printed copy of the Review posted to them, while overseas members can opt to either have the printed Review posted or an e-mailed version.

Message from the Editor
Ann Braithwaite
Dear Friends,
In this season of the Solemnity of Our Lord, leading up to Advent, I hope you will be interested in the articles on pages 17 and 25. A look at the Orthodox church and icons of Ukraine fascinated me. Perhaps there will be something there to encourage you.
Recently we(the BAI) have accepted a large group of people from Hong Kong as new members – a very warm welcome to you all. As students of Sr Esther, you will already know something about the aims of the BAI . I hope everyone will feel welcome as part of the ‘BAI family’, whether you have been a member for many years or for a few weeks. This Review is for you, so do feel free to send in any ideas, articles, photos. The website has up–to–date information about courses.
May I encourage you to use the Prayer of the Icon Writer and to never forget:–
• the joy of spreading icons in the world
• the joy of the work of icon writing/painting
• the joy of giving the Christ and the Saints the possibility to
shine through the icon
• the joy of being in union with Christ or the Saint whose face
you are writing/painting.
Wishing you a blessed and creative Advent.
Ann (Braithwaite)
Editor of BAI Review (Volunteer)
