It was organized in 2008 to mark the 40th year since the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. That year the exhibition traveled that entire year to over 20 Colleges, Universities and schools. The exhibition is free and open to the public daily. A free public opening reception with the artist will be held on February 9, from 5:00 to 7:00 pm, concurrently with an opening reception for A Narrative of Life and Glory, on view in the Meetinghouse Gallery. Most of the works in Icons of the Civil Rights Movement were created in a few months in 2008. Chatterton-Purdy used oils, gold leaf, and handmade paper and wooden frames from a local dump near her Cape Cod home. The subjects include Martin Luther King, Jr., Coretta Scott King, Rosa Parks, Emmett Till, and other figures from the Civil Rights era. Icons of the Civil Rights Movement has previously been seen at schools and colleges throughout New England, including Brandeis University’s Intercultural Center, Gordon College, and the Department of Africana Studies at Brown University. In January 2009, the exhibtiion was on display in Washington DC for the Inauguration of the first African American President Barack Obama.  It continues to be exhibited into 2010.

The exhibition is free and open to the public daily. A free public opening reception with the artist will be held on February 9, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm, concurrently with an opening reception for Icons of the Civil Rights Movement, on view in the Sarly Interfaith Unity Gallery in Wilson Chapel. Goetemann first encountered Mahler’s Resurrection Symphony while completing an M.F.A. at the University of Iowa. The composition addresses themes which Goetemann believes are relevant in today’s culture: the quest to find freedom in the face of adversity; courage in the face of dislocation; and eternal life in the face of human decay. Inspired by Mahler’s work for much of his career, he has worked on his visual interpretation of the symphony in this series of paintings for more than five years.

Both will lecture on the extraordinary St. John’s Bible project. The hand-illuminated St. John’s Bible has been called “a work of art and a work of theology” and “America’s Book of Kells.” Father Hollas and Jim Triggs will be exhibiting the Heritage Editions of the three volumes of the Saint John’s Bible: Wisdom, Prophets, and Psalms, hand-tooled leather books that scrupulously reproduce the the artistry of the original hand illuminated Bible. Father Eric Hollas, a member of the Benedictine order of St. John’s Abbey, Minnesota will describe the gorgeous illuminations and calligraphy of the SJB.  It was Father Hollas who initially proposed the project to Donald Jackson, calligrapher to the Queen of England, to create the first hand written, hand illuminated Bible in 500 years. Jackson and his staff have been working for the past 11 years at his scriptorium in Wales, combining the ancient practices of scraping calf skins for the vellum pages, shaping goose quill pens, and blending egg yolk with hand-ground inks to create a vibrant text and iconographic illustrations. These ancient practices combine with 21st century technology to incorporate images as diverse as voice prints of Navajo chants, cosmological details inspired by the Hubble Space Telescope, and spirals of DNA. The St. John’s Bible has been called by Newsweek magazine, “America’s Book of Kells”. The Andover Newton Bookstore staff will provide a booktable to accompany the talks and displays of the three books. There are currently five published volumes of the seven-volume originals, which will be completed in 2010-11, as well as giclee prints of many of the Bible’s most striking illustrations printed on museum quality paper suitable for framing.  Also available for a beautiful gift for your church, an ordinand, or friends or family members, are notecards, prayer books, and DVD’s that replicate the bible’s illustrations. The Andover Newton Bookstore is an official distributor for the St. John’s Bible and all the related prints and DVDs. Please visit the Bookstore web page for more information. Come see this wonderful gift to the world and to Christians everywhere, a magnificent, inspiring celebration of the scriptures that have sustained our faith through thousands of years.

The riches of this world musical heritage are immense. Join us as we explore the hymns and songs from many parts of the world church. We’ll consider the reasons for singing global song in local worship, inquire about the musical/theological questions that arise when we do, and offer practical ways to teach and learn this repertoire in ways that are respectful of the “sending” cultures and engage the “receiving” cultures (ours) in deeper musical and faith-building experiences. We will learn together ways to help our congregations truly “join our voices with the saints of every time and place.” Patrick Evans, Associate professor in the practice of sacred music at Yale Divinity School, is committed to the reclaiming and renewal of congregational song. He recently spent two weeks in Uganda, teaching and learning from church musicians and pastors from that country, Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi, and Sudan. Fee: $25, $15 for students.

The screening is followed by a potluck dinner. Tonight’s feature is from Germany: Inka Scherhans’ “Bandits,” a face-paced rock-and-roll road movie about the exploits of a female band on the run. Four women behind bars with nothing in common except their love for rock music form a jailhouse band as part of their rehabilitation. On the night of their first gig at a police banquet, the women overpower a sadistic guard and escape into the night. An agent, who had originally rejected their demo, launches their tape onto the public and overnight they become media sensations. As the rebels become more successful than their wildest dreams, the police step up their hot pursuit. But it’s hard to keep a low profile when your music and video are everywhere.

Being a preacher, teacher, counselor, caregiver, administrator, program planner, Biblical scholar, historian, ethicist and theologian all rolled into one doesn’t do it either. There’s a new world emerging and a different kind of ministerial leadership is needed for that world. This year’s Woodbury Workshop, featuring the innovative Christian leader Brian McLaren, will explore the new demands and dimensions of leadership in the church. It will help you develop a clearer understanding of the practices that are essential to effective and faithful leadership.
