The Mystery of Love  

 

The Mystery of Love, a PBS documentary to air December 13^th deals with the many dimensions of love in our lives.  As Bill Moyers says this broadcast is "as deep, tender, and ineffable as the subject itself, and as eye-opening, exhilarating, and beguiling as the first moment it happens to you.”  The Mystery of Love is the first in a series of three films being funded by the Fetzer Institute as part of its Campaign for Love & Forgiveness, an inclusive, non-partisan initiative that explores how love and forgiveness can effect meaningful change in individuals and communities alike.

In conjunction with the PBS documentary, Dayton has been chosen as one of ten sites hosting a community dialogue around the theme of love and understanding.  The dialogue is sponsored nationally by Active Voice (www.activevoice.net) , Independent Production Fund and in Dayton through Civic Life, International (www.civiclifeint.org) an organization dedicated to promoting deliberative dialogue and active citizenship in local communities. In collaboration with local groups and partners, Civic Life, International intends to use The Mystery of Love to initiative series of public forum that may increase our capacity to connect with and learn more about the viewpoints of others with whom we differ while solving problems or dealing with conflicts.  Civic Life, International hopes to use The Mystery of Love Project to explore love as a means of bringing the community together around a conversation of compassion and understanding for and of the other.

 

The Kick-off for the PBS airing and the Dayton area dialogues will be held on December 12^th, at the Think^TV Network station, 110 South Jefferson Street, Dayton, Ohio. The event starts at five with dinner and will be followed by the airing of select excerpts from the documentary as well as a brief community conversation.
