What’s A Little Paganism Between Friends?

from Stand Firm by Jackie

I'll bet you woke up this morning and right after that second cup of Joe said, "Gee, I wonder what Ann Holmes Redding, the Episco-Muslim priest is doing these days?" Well, wonder no more .

A Celebration of the Tree of Life in the Time of the Great Turning
Join people of different spiritual and cultural traditions in an evening of the sights and sounds of dance, music, drumming, ritual, story, and song at St. Mark's Cathedral, a Greening Congregation.

You are invited to join in this historical moment known as the Great Turning by gathering around the ancient mythic image of the Tree of Life. This event features an address by author, environmental activist, and Gaian teacher Joanna Macy; storytelling by Michael Meade; liturgical dance by Betsey Beckman; and world music by Gina Salá. The evening is designed to bring together people of different spiritual and cultural traditions to express their sorrow and hope over the environmental and cultural upheaval our world is currently experiencing. The sacred space of the cathedral will be filled with the sights and sounds of dance, music, drumming, ritual, story, and song--a feast for the senses and the soul.

What's that you say - she was defrocked and no longer holds the Episco part of the title? So surely this event was held at the home of the Sun, Earth and Dewdrop Ministry, correct? Sadly, no.

The evening is co-sponsored by The Tree of Life Project, St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, St. Mark's Cathedral, and Rite of Passage Journeys. Tickets are $20/person and are available through Brown Paper Tickets.
