ATTENTION/SAVE THE DATE!: March 21, 2024 Environmental Film: REBELLION
by Ellie Stock 04 Mar '24

04 Mar '24

MARCH ENVIRONMENTAL FILM: REBELLION YOU ARE INVITED! The March film in the 2024 Environmental Film Series hosted by The Ferguson Eco Team will be David Suzuki's The Nature of Things: REBELLION and will be shown, Thursday, March 21, 7:00 PM Central Time. A unique documentary featuring a one-on-one conversation between David Suzuki and Sir David Attenborough that takes the pulse of our planet and asks whether humans can change their ways in time. REBELLION is a crash-course in every social issue that has frustrated and inspired a new generation of activists. There’s a sense that this was a straightforward assignment going in – 2019 was the year of Greta after all. And much of the film is wrapped around climate change, with focus on Thunberg, nature filmmaker Sir David Attenborough (who has changed his message from awe over the beauty of nature to alarm at its state of peril), and Gail Bradbrook of the Extinction Rebellion movement that has made headlines with dramatic protests around the globe. But 2020 clearly threw a spanner in the works. All of a sudden, a clear theme was muddled by a pandemic and concurrent global racial unrest following the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police. Rebellion works to connect the environment and racial injustice into a single issue. Conversation to follow the film. TO REGISTER FOR ZOOM LINK: https://bit.ly/FETMar2024 or use QR code below. Attached is a flyer for the film. For more information: (314) 521-8418 or carletonstock(a)aol.com

Squeeze play yes or no
by James Wiegel 03 Mar '24

03 Mar '24

John, Linda … reflecting over coffee on my week, I am remembering a moment during a Profound Journey Dialogue weekend here. Big John, old John, poppa John was telling a story about son John. Poppa John was waffling or complaining about life or something and son John said, “the squeeze play, Dad, yes or no, yes or no” … referencing the Bultmann chart with its 2 sets of arrows from the Friday evening session of RS1. This telling was accompanied by hand gestures. Fingers pointing up with one hand, pointing down with the other How sweet it would be to have that as a video clip! Jim Wiegel “…the long work of turning their lives into a celebration is not easy. Come and let us talk“. The Sunflowers. Mary Oliver
