Faith Renaissance.
The rebirth of something old.
We will get a wonderful chance this weekend to discuss faith through scenes of the play
Incorruptible by Michael Hollinger
performed by the drama team from Wesley Theological Seminary.
"Welcome to Priseaux, France, circa 1250 A.D.; the river flooded again last week. The Chandler's shop just burned to the ground. Nobody has heard of the wheelbarrow yet. And Saint Foy, the patron saint of the monastery, hasn't worked a miracle in 13 years. In other words, the Dark Ages still look pretty dark. All eyes turn to the Pope, whose promised visit will surely encourage other pilgrims to make the trek and restore the abbey to its former glory. That is, until a rival church claims to possess the relics of Saint Foy -- and their bones are working miracles. All seems lost until the destitute monks take a lesson from a larcenous one-eyed minstrel, who teaches them an outrageous new way to repay old debts."
This dark comedy about the monks in the dark ages will surely spark wonderful topics of
conversation about the church, rituals, materialism, and most importantly, faith.
So come to the service, spend your own time in prayer, grab some coffee, and get ready for a night of laughs, discussion, and faith.
