Love the Sinner
T01531232060
An international group of church leaders converge in an African hotel to contend the need for Christian doctrine to change with the times. People here want God. Here where we live there is still pestilence and plagues, evil emperors, corruption - demons for some. When we look to the bible we do not see 'stories' like you. We see truth. Fierce theological debate demonstrates that what's current thinking on one continent is abhorrent to another. In a neighbouring room, a brief sexual encounter between Joseph, a local porter, and Michael, a British conference volunteer, leads to a direct and potent challenge both to Michael, as he returns to England to grapple with ethics of his own, and to the liberal claims and professed compassion of the affluent West and its church. He's a man. First and foremost. Who needs help. Drew Pautz's tense and provocative new play considers what we may be willing to sacrifice, personally and in the public sphere, for what we believe to be right.
