SUMMARY:Stories of Community and Resistance from Andy Davis\, former co-director of World Fellowship Center
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, July 15Time: 7:00 – 8:15pmWhere: BWC Building\, 6 Webster Street in Brookline \nWhat: A selection of narrative reflections on how we maintain hope and pursue justice in the most difficult of times. Storyteller Andy Davis will take us from an organizing challenge overcome by unsung heroes of the Montgomery Bus Boycott\, to an act of quiet resistance during the Holocaust\, to an unexpected source of shared solace after the 1973 Chilean coup\, to a personal story of confronting his own privilege\, to a Palestinian folktale. \nAndy Davis got his start as a storyteller telling comic tales by candlelight in Mexican refugee camps 30 years ago while doing a stint as a human rights worker in Guatemala in the waning years of the civil war there. He has since broadened and refined his craft and has entertained audiences from Bamako to Seattle with his signature blend of infectious humor\, sly wisdom\, and a cheerfully subversive spirit. For over 20 years he co-directed the World Fellowship Center\, a peace and justice-oriented family camp and retreat center in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. He lives in a little home-made house in Tamworth\, NH with his wife Andrea. www.andydavisstoryteller.com. \nNo registration necessary. Suggested donation of $15.
