CAN YOU IMAGINE A WORLD WITHOUT FISH?

Fishes and Loaves, A Study of the Covenant between Land and Sea—Wednesdays, 6:30-8:00, April 28-May 19, at St. Saviour’s Parish (288-4215). This study will make us more knowledgeable about environmental and social issues and challenge us to be more involved and supportive of our fishing families and their livelihood.

The first two sessions will include a viewing of the film A Sea Change that relates the journey of retired history teacher Sven Huseby. He travels around the world listening to oceanographers, marine biologists, fishermen, artists, and climatologists about the impacts of a changing ocean chemistry on fish that provide sustenance for more than one billion people, and how these impacts threaten the marine food web. Program will be followed by a time of reflection and discussion, led by Jonathan Appleyard and Eric Smith.

Session 3, a film about Deer Isle fishermen, their families and communities and examines local fishing practices both past and future as Maine fishermen work with scientist and marine regulators to implement community-based fishing management for sustainable fisheries. Film will be followed by a discussion led by Robin Alden, Executive Director of Penobscot East Resource Center.

Session 4, a film produced by the Maine Council of Churches about a Rockland faith community that partnered with a local fishing community, will be followed by discussion led by Aaron Dority, project manager for the Downeast Sentinel Fishery Project, a fish stewardship and research project to balance supply and demand for local seafood. You are invited to attend one or all of the sessions.

The program will culminate with a lobster roll dinner featuring local seafood and farm produce on Friday, May 21st from 5-7 p.m. Tickets—$10 each—can be pre-purchased at St. Saviour’s.

 

The Acadia Choral Society will present their spring concerts at St. Saviour's on Saturday, May 1 at 7 pm and Sunday, May 2 at 3 pm.  On the program is a moving new Requiem, "From Darkness to Light," by Jonathan Willcocks, as well as several selections by John Rutter and 3 Nova Scotian folk song arrangements.  Tickets, available at the door, are $12.
