“Leap of Faith” screening May 6 in Springfield

Pax Christi Massachusetts is sponsoring a showing of Nicholas Ma’s film, “Leap of Faith” on Wednesday, May 6th @ 6:30 PM in the auditorium of Pope Francis Preparatory School, 99 Wendover Road in Springfield. Director Nicholas Ma, the son of violinist YoYo Ma, is best known for his award-winning documentary, “Won’t you be my Neighbor?” about Fred Rogers.

The film documents 12 diverse Christian leaders who find hope and fellowship at a series of boundary-breaking retreats in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Brought together by Michael Gulker of the Colossian Forum, five women and seven men struggle with some of today’s most contentious issues. The divisions between them become apparent and test both their common belief in the universal importance of love and kindness and the bonds they build over the course of a year.

Inspiring and provocative, “Leap of Faith” explores whether we can disagree and still belong to each other in a divided world.

All are welcome!
