The Church Forests of Ethiopia

Author Fred Bahnson and filmmaker Jeremy Seifert kick off the first session in our Contributor Conversation series. The two collaborated to create the story “The Church Forests of Ethiopia: A Mystical Geography” for our recent Trees issue, as well as “On The Road with Thomas Merton” for last year’s Faith issue. Hosted by Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee, Executive Editor of Emergence, Fred will read an excerpt from his essay and Jeremy will share his creative process behind shooting and directing the film. The live conversation will also include a moderated Q&A with the audience.
