MSA in Greenbelt Festival, UK August 27-30

 

By Eliacín Rosario-Cruz

 

Tom Sine and I will have the fortune to join many great people at this year celebration of Greenbelt Festival in the UK. This faith, arts and justice festival have been going for 37 years. Some of their presenters in the past include, Archbishop Rowan Williams, U2 and many others.

 

From Greenbelt Website.

Attendees of Greenbelt 2010 are spoilt for choice when it comes to thought-provoking, intelligent and revelatory Talks. Firm Festival favourites like John Bell, Peter Tatchell, and Lucy Winkett appear alongside newcomers Clare Short MP, theologian Stanley Hauerwas, writer and psychologist Oliver James and Richard Rohr.

 

The following are the titles of the talks/workshops lead by Tom and I 

 

Tom Sine's talks/workshops

 

 1. Creating communities of celebration, sustainability and subversion in the shadow of the empire

 The marketers of the imperial global economy are influencing people all over the planet to live in their fables...their notions of the good life. In this session you are invited to imagine new expressions of community that are more cooperative, festive, missional and less expensive that reflect a very different dream.

 

2. Joining the new conspirators in creating new ways to make a difference in turbulent times

Don't break out the party hats yet!  The global recession may be over but the volatility isn't.  We will take you on quick tour of some of the new challenges facing us, the poor and the planet 2010-2020.  Then we will invite you join the new conspirators in creating new expressions of life, church and mission.

 

Eliacín's talks/workshops

 

1. Cultivating Liberated Spaces

In this conversation we will explore the ways in which we can create Liberated Space to break down occupation, resist assimilation and create God (soul space) alternative spaces. Together we will explore the following vibes and questions - Radical Captivation, Radical Exile, Radical Transformation. 

 

2. Abrigando Esperanzas

In Abrigando Esperanzas Eliacín will share of Latin American people's movements of hope and how their spirituality, values and practices (liturgies) serve as examples of active incarnational ways wot co-create spaces of hope and transformation

 

Tom and I together -

Fusion of Food, Faith and Culture...

In this session Tom & Eliacin will discuss the fusion of food, faith and culture while bantering about Europe’s gift of coleslaw to a deprived world.  You will be invited to join this conversation about coleslaw and colonization.  Samples of a new majority world alternative salad will be available for tasting at the close of this session.
