"Green Book"
Popcorn Theology
Saturday, September 7, 2019
5:30 p.m. - 8:45 p.m.
in the Parish Hall
We will begin with dinner, offering Mellow Mushroom pizza, salad, fruit, cookies and popcorn.
Then we'll watch "Green Book," (winner of the 2019 Academy Award for Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay) based on the true story of Tony "Lip" Vallelonga and Dr. Don Shirley. Tony, (played by Academy Award nominee Viggo Mortensen) is a working class Italian-American who works as a bouncer in a nightclub and lives in the Bronx. He is hired to drive Dr. Don Shirley, (played by Academy Award winner for Best Supporting Actor: "Moonlight" and "Green Book," Mahershala Ali) a highly educated, sophisticated, renowned classical pianist who lives in a beautifully furnished apartment above Carnegie Hall in Manhattan. The trip takes place in 1962. Tony is to drive Dr. Don on a concert tour to various locations throughout the South. As they depart Manhattan, Tony is handed a copy of The Green Book, written to offer guidance on the few motels and restaurants in which African-Americans will be safe to stay and to eat. Along the way, they are confronted by racism and face some dangerous situations. There are also moments of compassion and humor as the two men are slowly transformed by the journey and by their evolving relationship.
The film is rated PG-13 and lasts about 2 hours and 5 minutes. Following the movie we'll have a brief conversation about where we saw and heard God and Love in the movie.
The suggested contribution for the meal is $10.00 or whatever amount you are able to pay.
All are welcome!

Please join Presiding Bishop Michael Curry, Bishop Robert Wright,
and the Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Atlanta for
ReviveATL: Love in Action
an Episcopal Church Revival
January 22, 2020 from 6-8 p.m.
Atlanta University Center
|
This past year, Presiding Bishop Curry has urged people of faith to follow The Way of Love, fostering a community of people who follow Jesus by forming loving, liberating and life-giving relationships with God, their neighbors, and the environment.
This Way of Love is reflected by the Diocese of Atlanta's purpose statement:
We challenge ourselves and the world to love like Jesus as we worship joyfully, serve compassionately, and grow spiritually.
What does Love in Action look like in a world that is hurting? ReviveATL invites us to live out our call to serve Jesus and love as he loves the unwelcome, the disenfranchised, the lost, and the found.
All are welcome. Come experience Love in Action.
Details: Prior to the Revival, food trucks will be available from 4:30-6 p.m. to allow for early arrivals. A more detailed program will be released this fall.
Early bird registration before Nov. 1 includes guaranteed seating. Registration will be opening soon.
