Affording Hope Dance Event

The "Affording Hope Project" is coming to FMW. This event will particularly speak to you if you are concerned about the looming environmental crisis, and wondering how we, as a spiritual community, can respond. The performance will take place in the Meeting Room at noon, to be followed by a discussion.

The Affording Hope Project presents Leaps and Bounds, a one woman show which explores the intersection of faith, ecology, and the global economy. Developed and performed by Tevyn East, this show will circulate among a variety of faith communities and institutions of higher learning in 2010.

Using a number of creative tools including storytelling, song, poetry, prayer, movement, and film, this work of theater sheds light on the driving factors of our ecological crisis while awakening the imagination to a new way of living with and relating to Earth. Grounded in theological reflection, Leaps and Bounds, embodies an adventure, searching for the values that would support an economic system that promotes human well-being and ecological health. The Affording Hope Project accesses the transformative power of art to inspire the Christian church to be a prophetic witness to alternative economic systems of sufficiency and solidarity.
