From the Diocese of New Westminster:

A theatrical event; breaking open deep truth and asking big questions.

Roots Among the Rocks, is a brand new play about life, faith, religion and our relationship with the church. It is written, directed and performed by a talented group of young Anglicans and Lutherans from across Canada and it’s coming to Vancouver this summer

Warning: Roots Among the Rocks is a show written for the whole church. In it, the cast confronts issues of identity, community, trust, and forgiveness.
It does not contain: violence, swearing, nudity, smoke effects, reality TV hosts, strobe lighting, an obligatory kiss scene, or robots.

It does contain: confession, dance, poetry, drug addiction, humour, cancer, biblical stories, St. Augustine, an irreverent tribute to Sunday morning worship, human sexuality, rocks, prayers, hopes, dreams and rap.

We think anyone age 12 and over will enjoy it.

I saw this at General Synod and it would be churlish of me to say I didn’t enjoy it because the young actors were very talented and presented their point well. But what was the point?

The play was an elegy to the Christianity of I’m OK, you’re OK, gay is OK. If that’s the message you would like your 12 year old to hear, go and see it.
