Location: Davis Hall, Room 201

Renewal is the first feature-length documentary to capture the breadth and vitality of America’s religious-environmental movement.

Offering a profound message of hope, Renewal shows individuals and communities driven by the deepest source of inspiration - their spiritual and religious convictions - being called to re-examine what it means to be human and how we live on this planet. The 90-minute documentary includes eight inspirational stories, including how Interfaith Power and Light brings different faiths together to mount a religious response to global warming.  See how Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist, Catholic, Native American and Protestant traditions are working to renew God’s creation.

Open to the public. Andover Newton and Hebrew College students, faculty, and staff free, others $5. Meet Renewal producer Marty Ostrow after the film for discussion.

Renewal is the first of three showings in the film series Is God Green? Three Films on Faith and Creation Care sponsored by Boston Theological Institute, Massachusetts Interfaith Power & Light, and Andover Newton Theological School. The second, Is God Green?, screens on Feb. 23 and the concluding film, The Green Patriarch, on March 2.
