One of the deep truths that A Rocha has discovered over its 34 years of work around the world, is that it takes a community to care for the earth. ย One person, or one family, gets burnt out when doing this work on our own. ย We get ground down by the pressures of life in the modern world; we get discouraged by working on the long story of transforming a place.
I happened to watch an early screener for the upcoming movie All Saints, and I discovered it to be a lovely, authentic story that resonates as an A Rocha-type story. ย It is a story about a church that decided to use what they had โ and it was a pretty paltry loaf and fishes โ to feed the poor around them.
If you are heading to a movie theater in late August and want to escape to a story that will inspire you, edify you, and set you on a road to community, consider checking out All Saints. ย It is playing in theatres across the country starting August 25.
