- Working for Peace in Haiti
from Ari, Carla, and Djalòki, in Haiti
We just found your website today from a Google Alert and I just wanted to let you all know how very encouraging your blog is, especially to know that Christian leaders as you say are going forward with their eyes open to the system of the world and how it uses and sucks up the countries that it has pillaged!
We live in Haiti and have a vision for healing. The transatlantic slave trade was one huge event that has left its scars as well as the genocide of the native peoples. All this is infected our societies and threatens our future as humans on this planet.
We hope to come to San Fransisco this fall with our historical drama/mime with a complete soundtrack that we toured with last spring 2006 to universities. It is a play that describes the brutal history and possible scenarios for healing. It is our fear that keeps us going after wars, until we confront this fear, this ancient fear, we will keep going to war and keep fueling the machine for war because of our western arrogance that masks in a horrible way this fear. Love
casts out all fear. The miracle is that the healing responsibility is in the heart of the African people and they have proven that!
We are looking for universities to perform our play and talk about this vision of healing. If you think that this would be something the seminar at Berkeley would be interested, we have a committee in SF that is helping to set up our fall tour. Just let us know, but we would be honored if you would look at the blogs too.
Here are our blogs about our vision for healing the rascism that is based on the principle of Jesus, incarnation in order to know another’s pain, to relive another’s history in order to understand and bring healing.
