On Sunday, November 9, St. Philip's Christian Social Concerns Committee and the Center for Spiritual Wisdom and  will host a public screening of the documentary "Refuge," a film depicting a journey of healing and reconciliation in the foothills of northern Georgia where a Georgia native confronts his fear and loathing of Islam through an acquaintance with a Kurdish immigrant.

From the film's website (refugemovie.com):  "REFUGE is set in the most diverse square mile in America, Clarkston, Georgia, and follows a Syrian Kurd, a former Klansman, and a town of refugees who seek belonging in an increasingly polarized and isolated America."

"It reveals the urgent need and offers shining hope that we find paths that span the deep fissures of our times, " says Terry Decker, the event's organizer. 

Please mark your calendar and gather in Miller Hall by 1:30 pm on November 9. The film runs one hour eighteen minutes, leaving time for reflection and discussion until 4:00 pm.
