Description: A "world premiere" event for the George Fox campus. Alumna Tricia Gates Brown's Whatever Kindles is about the lives of individuals who volunteer for the Christian Peacemaker Teams (CPT) that work to prevent violence and promote alternatives to war in Iraq, the West Bank, Columbia, and other regions in the world devastated by violence. Whatever Kindles is an artistically challenging and intellectually stimulating fictional play based on the stories of actual events in the lives of CPT members who are following Jesus' example of bringing peace to the world.
