Making the Last Words of George Floyd Quilt Film: Tears that Break the Heart of God

What role does contemporary “white shock” have to play in the larger story of systemic racism/inherent alienation in our American history and culture?

How is God present in our tears?

These questions rise, as Chris introduces his new short film documenting a quilt project memorializing the last words of George Floyd.

Our show pushes back against the unexamined, often unconscious ways that we frame public questions using political or economic modes of thinking. We aim to be part of a growing movement of people who are critical of the narrowness of political and economic categories, and who want to revive a vision of human flourishing that is grounded in the wisdoms of theological and moral philosophical tradition. We see these habits and ways of thinking as being pre-political, and foundational to a healthy and civil shared life in families, communities, economies, and polities.

In short, we want to foster conversations, develop habits, and create communities that are grounded in curiosity, going deep, and shining light.
