Tolkien's The Fellowship of the Ring immersion experience: all day Saturday, August 14, we will gather for talks, games, crafts, activities, and food as we enter the storyline of Tolkien's beloved novel. Sunday: Join us for a 9 mile walking pilgrimage to the National Shrine and Basilica of Our Lady of Lebanon, in North Jackson, Ohio where there will be hot Lebanese food for sale, an outdoor Mass, candlelight procession, and FIREWORKS! Come for one day or for both days. Once you register, we'll help with lodging (if you need it) and other travel arrangements. It is with great joy that we announce the work of our nonprofit corporation, Revolution of Tenderness! Since 2011, we have been providing engrossing and relevant programming, through the work of the Pittsburgh Encounter and the Youngstown Marian Pilgrimage, in Pennsylvania and Ohio. We offer exhibits on myriad topics, expert speakers on every subject to do with culture; and classical, jazz, and contemporary music concerts. The leadership at Revolution of Tenderness has successfully produced such diverse and well-attended projects as the Religious Sense Symposium, which took place at Franciscan University of Steubenville in 2011; the Pittsburgh Encounter, which offered speakers, exhibits, and concerts during three separate cultural festivals; and now the Festival of Friendship, which is in its fourth year. Meanwhile, we have also begun work on a new literary journal, titled Convivium Journal; a new publishing house called Mandylion Press; and we have numerous other exciting initiatives in the works! Our mission is to offer cultural, religious, and educational events and publications inspired by our tireless openness to all that is lovely and good; convinced, moreover, that human freedom only flourishes within a tenacious faithfulness to communion, our programming always seeks out and privileges unity in ourselves, within our world, and in our community.
