Abstract
This glossary is intended for those who believe they have a mandate over their life to create intercessory art, a life
dedicated to healing.
Additionally, this glossary serves as a rumination on the intercessory art practice of David Capra. From water births to
sausage dogs, from the Land of Oz to the prophetic realm, it intends to provide a practical guide to those who wish to
birth forth an intercessory art practice. It is considered that this document be used concurrently as a directory and
manual; it offers advice, warning and encouragement.
Using Capra’s work as a motive and motif, you will be able to navigate the full potential of an art practice that truly
seeks to serve others by looking beyond itself. A Guide to Intercessory Art is therefore a response to the spirit of this
age. This glossary will empower the reader to identify problems they see in the world around them and inspire them to
address these problems using their own artistic gifts. It is held as self-evident that much of an artist’s inspiration comes
from the prophetic realm, a place that is more than a fanciful idea and for many reasons eludes easy articulation. When
studying this text, it is hoped one will gain a small impression or encounter one side of its ever-changing contours, even
just for a moment.
Upon reading this work it is envisioned that artists in their multitudes will pick up their mantles, walk forth into their
purpose, embracing a fruitful life and nourishing many on the way.
