Sun, Nov 1, 2009 at 4:00 pm Location: Wilson Chapel Please join us at Andover Newton for a special afternoon of music, the dancing of dervishes, and inspiring readings from the work of 13th century Persian Sufi mystic Jalal al-din Mohammad Rumi, known in the West simply as “Rumi.” Rumi’s passionate and powerful work is filled with a longing for God, the Friend and the Beloved. It ranks with the most popular and widely read poetry in the United States today. The program will close with a traditional Dervish Zikr ceremony. Tickets available at the door for $15; $7 for seniors and full-time students. Andover Newton faculty and students admitted free. Presented by the Ruah Spirituality Institute, co-sponsored by Worship, Theology, and the Arts at Andover Newton Theological School. For more information or advanced tickets, please contact the Ruah Institute, www.ruahspirit.org, ruahspirit@gmail.com, or 617-277-0036. The RUAH Spirituality Institute, 1773 Beacon Street, Brookline MA 02445 Photo: Unknown artist, “Whirling Dervishes,” Topkapi Palace Museum Library, Istanbul.
