“The Meadow Across the Creek”:
Words from Thomas Berry

Place: The Greensboro Historical Museum
Presented by
The Center for Education, Imagination and the Natural World

A performance piece in Thomas Berry‘s own lyrical and inspiring words, performed by Andrew Levitt with musical interludes by Scott Walker. Growing up in Greensboro, NC, Thomas Berry had a “Meadow Across the Creek” experience when he was eleven years old that became a touchstone for his life and work.  Mirroring this moment of mystical rapport in childhood, Thomas’ prose and poetry invite others into a deep presence to Earth and Cosmos as participants in an unfinished symphony.

When the Earth Becomes Revelatory

Place: Kathleen Clay Edwards Family Branch Library

Presented by
Environmental Stewardship Greensboro

Thomas Berry‘s writings focused on how encountering the Earth could become a revelatory experience and showed ways that the story of the emerging Universe provides clues for new forms of human interaction with the non-human world. Thomas Berry has often been quoted as saying, “The historical mission of our time is to reinvent the human at the species level.” Nelson Stover will offer a presentation on discerning the practical implications of Thomas Berry’s writings within the context of the four institutions on which Thomas focused: economic, educational, political and religious.
