Resistance Cinema and Ascension Outreach, Inc. present SHADOW WORLD on Tuesday, July 3, 2018 at 7 pm in the Parish Hall, 12 West 11th Street, NYC. Directed by Johan Grimonprez, the film reveals how the international trade in weapons fosters corruption, promotes global militarism, determines economic and foreign policies, undermines democracy and creates widespread suffering. SHADOW WORLD reveals the real costs of war and how the trade in weapons decreases rather than enhances security for us all. In shedding light on this reality, the film offers a way for audiences to see through this horror, in the hopes of creating a better future. Join us for this important film! Bring a friend! Film is screened for free, donations gladly accepted.

In this week’s newsletter, the rector notes Pentecost’s reversal of Babel—not by restoring a single language, but by enabling understanding across difference as each speaks and hears in their own tongue. She treasures hearing parishioners read “God’s deeds of power” in many languages during worship, and invites us to consider what it means to speak of God in our own heart language—whether shaped by mother tongue, place, trust, or profound shared experience. In a time of contempt for difference, Pentecost reveals the blessing of many tongues and the Holy Spirit’s gift of mutual understanding across culture, faith, and ethnic background.
