Letter: Documentary on grassroots environmental action, tonight

Tonight (M, 9/29) Holy Family Episcopal Church will hold a special screening of "Renewal," a powerful documentary that describes the actions of people of faith as they take on the environmental challenges facing our country today. The film begins with the story of Evangelical Christians in Appalachia bearing witness to the devastating effects of mountain top removal by coal companies. It then goes on to tell of a variety of environmental actions by Muslims, Buddhists, Jews, Native Americans, and Christians of every flavor. These narratives offer an inspirational look at the grass roots efforts by people of faith to heal and protect our planet.

The show begins at 7:00 p.m. at Holy Family Episcopal Church, 1590 S. Cabrillo Highway, Half Moon Bay [about 0.2 mi South of Cameron’s Pub].

The program is free and open to the public.
