Film Screening

There is a revolution happening in the farm fields and on the dinner tables of America -- a revolution that is transforming the very nature of the food we eat. THE FUTURE OF FOOD offers an in-depth investigation into the disturbing truth behind the unlabeled, patented, genetically engineered foods that have quietly filled U.S. grocery store shelves for the past decade. From the prairies of Saskatchewan, Canada to the fields of Oaxaca, Mexico, this film gives a voice to farmers whose lives and livelihoods have been negatively impacted by this new technology. The health implications, government policies and push towards globalization are all part of the reason why many people are alarmed by the introduction of genetically altered crops into our food supply. Come join us and be informed. We are a community of faith devoted to raising awareness of critical issues for life in our world today.

Please join us for a Sunday Reading Series on the book titled: Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time, by Marcus J. Borg. As we enter the Lenten journey, this will be a wondrous and challenging opportunity to discover the historical Jesus, and reflect on the implications for our faith as 21st century Christians. Warning: This book study is for mature Christians, ready to tackle tough questions, and seeking an understanding of the post-resurrection Christ that is relevant, inspiring, and grounded. Our reading group will gather shortly after coffee hour, following the 10:00 AM Eucharist. Copies of the book will be available for $16.00.

Since the election of Bishop Gene Robinson as the Bishop of New Hampshire, the first openly homosexual priest to be consecrated to the episcopate, the Episcopal Church has been under great scrutiny from the media.  Sadly, the impact on the worldwide Anglican Communion has been divisive, and some of our parishes here in the U.S. have left the fold of the Episcopal Church.  Just who is Gene Robinson?  Come and find out!  Join us for an  Adult Forums with DVD presentation on November 18, following Coffee Hour.  St. Anselm's is an inclusive and affirming congregation that welcomes all people, including members of the Homosexual and Lesbian community...

St Anselm Arts & Awareness Café Presents:

Come join us for a Sunday Forum and learn about the current ongoing struggle at St. Joseph's hospital in Orange, where service workers are being denied the right to organize under a union, this despite the fact that the Catholic Church fully supports union organizing, and the hospital is run by the Sisters of St. Joseph's, a religious community with a long history of commitment to civil rights.   A speaker and DVD presentation will follow our Eucharist on Sunday October 11th.

Come meet Ms. Wafa Shami of the Middle East Peace Education Program, and support the work of Palestinians producing Olive Oil in the Holy Land. A film and slide presentation will be screened. Holy Land Olive Oil will be available for purchase. Buy your Christmas olive oil early, and help Palestinian Christians in dire economic need!

Come join us for a special presentation on the ongoing Darfur Genocide featuring a slide presentation with context information, followed by poetry and play readings. Our speakers will be Catherine Standiford, and Dawn Marie Lemonds.

After the program, there will be opportunities for friendly, and relaxed discussion on the issues featured in the program.

In honor of all mothers on this Month of Mother's Day,  "The Motherhood Manifesto." (directed by Laura Pacheco, 2006, 59 minutes). This vibrant documentary gathers true stories from American mothers, ranging from maternity leave, to day care, to employment discrimination, to shed some light on the "crisis of care" in America.

 

After the screening, there will be opportunities for friendly, and relaxed discussion on the issues featured in the film.

"West Bank Story" a hilarious spoof and take-off on West Side Story, except that here the characters are Palestinians, and Israeli Jews with competing Falafel stands (Kosher King and Humus Hut). 

 

Comedy is a great tool for peace.  Please join us in our quest for peace with justice between Israel and Palestine.  Bring a sack supper, film starts at 7:00PM
