How Did I Choose The Title For Assisi's New Wine?
Assisi is in Umbria, a province adjacent to Tuscany, world famous in its own right for wine. There are vineyards in Umbria as well. Francis challenged the institutional structure of the church and society in his day. He wore a drab cloak when he made his grand pronouncement, walking away from his family’s wealth and influence. Out of that drab external appearance however, burst forth an inner life that richly filled all who came into contact with it. God radically redirected him. I want this project to figuratively speaking, plant vineyards in the communities that experience this musical, that will do radical things for bringing and improving life in them.
