Passion of the Earth DVD

The Benedictine Sisters of the Monastery of St. Gertrude and artist Melanie Weidner offer this illuminating presentation of Passion of the Earth, an art installation located at Spirit Center that provides a fresh telling of the Creation Story. Using poetry and art, theology and science, they make new connections between Christian faith and our relationship with the Earth.

Project author, Sister Teresa Jackson, OSB, and artist, Melanie Weidner, tell the story behind the story in this inspiring film on the history, making and message of this collaborative project. Monastery of St Gertrude community members also share their insights throughout, in vibrant interviews on spirituality and care of the earth.
