Three Great Films of Substance to be Screened at Washington National Cathedral
Washington, D.C.— Rumi Returning, Constantine's Sword and Traces of the Trade: A Story from the Deep North are slated for public viewings at Washington National Cathedral.
Rumi Returning outlines the key events in the life of Sufi mystic and poet, Rumi. The film beautifully illustrates the life of the best-selling poet in the United States and richly communicates Rumi's messages of love, tolerance and passion for God (who he calls "the Beloved.)
Sufism and the Islamic world of the Middle Ages are brought to life through portrayals of Muslim architecture, art, clothing and dance.
A question and answer period follows the screening, presented by the Cathedral's Center for Global Justice and Reconciliation.
Rumi Returning, Friday, March 7; 7 pm, free but reservations required by calling 202-537-2357
