When’s the last time someone’s talk about spiritual combat made you cry? Right. Exactly. Perhaps never. But when Lauralee Farrer demurely launched into her talk on said topic at the WAG conference, “Jumping outside the self-referential box” last May, my interest in her delicate and authentic gravitas quickly enveloped my entire person.  As she spoke of her spiritual journey, culminating in a Jeremiah moment, complete with fire in her artistic bones, I knew what she was speaking about. The only difference was that the artistic fire was still shut up in my bones (do you know that Sarah Groves song?), whereas Farrer had stepped into the creative abyss of uknowing. She gave her words to God in a darkness so enveloping it shone with a  brilliance that only abandonment can birth.

What’s the fruit of that abandonment? Her first feature length documentary, The Fair Trade. See the teaser, and wonder the worth of life, death, love and commerce. Would you you like to see a film like this in the Madison area? Email me and we’ll start the conversation. (ruahfellowship@gmail.com)
