Thomas Merton: Alive at Fourth and Walnut

Join us for this very exciting presentation portraying the life and spiritual journey of Thomas Merton. This year marks the 100th anniversary of Merton’s birth. The Upstate NY Call to Action Fall 2015 Thruway Tour is most pleased to invite everyone to join us at the Hubbard Interfaith Sanctuary on Friday evening October 9th at 7:00pm for this one-man, one-act play with actor and playwright James Nagle: Thomas Merton: Alive at Fourth and Walnut.

This one person play portrays the life and spiritual journey of Thomas Merton - his youth, conversion, monastic/hermit life and untimely death.  We see the struggles, joys and challenges he embraced in becoming the deeply human monk, prophet, poet and spiritual writer God called him to be. 

Jim Nagle’s goal in life is to help people realize that they are loved unconditionally by God.  How does he do this?  Mainly through the arts and his life.  This pilgrim and dreamer who hails from Cleveland, Ohio, has celebrated life as a teacher, a poet, a playwright, a story-teller, an actor and a clown (in all 50 states). He performs Thomas Merton: Alive at Fourth and Walnut, the story of the man-monk who just happened to be a spiritual giant of the twentieth century, and a very human being. 

Good will offering will be asked. Please join us for refreshments following the presentation.
