Flyer pdf attached. Diane ? One Human Family: Caring for our Planet Film Showing: RENEWAL: Stories from America?s Religious-Environmental Movement We will view 4 of the 8 segments of this documentary, with time for discussion. There is no charge for this program. "The religious environmental movement is potentially key to dealing with the greatest problem humans have ever faced, and it has never been captured with more breadth and force than in RENEWAL. I hope this movie is screened in church basements and synagogue social halls across the country, and that it moves many more people of faith off the fence and into action."?Bill McKibben http://renewalproject.net/ ? Sunday June 14, 2009 at 2:30pm Fellowship House 1037 Main Street (Rt.103) Eliot, Maine Hosted by the Baha'is of Eliot We will begin with short inspirational readings.
