    Are fundamentalist religious movements inherently violent?  Dr. Krondorfer will introduce and talk about religious fundamentalism in the Abrahamic traditions (Christianity, Judaism, and Islam). As we look at each tradition and address common themes (such as scripturalism, gender, and return to the golden age) we’ll learn about the ways to understand fundamentalism.  There might be some surprises along the way.

    Dr. Krondorfer is the Director of the Martin-Springer Institute and an Endowed Professor of Religious Studies at NAU.  The Institute focuses on bringing the experiences of the Holocaust into sharp focus in order to understand those events in the context of today’s concerns and crises.  Dr. Krondorfer has written on Men and Masculinity in Christianity and Judaism, Cultural and Theological Legacy of the Holocaust, Jewish, Muslim and Christian Perspectives on Refugees and author of many other publications and books. Additionally, Dr. Krondorfer has created several exhibits, as director of the Martin Springer Institute, such as, Through the Eyes of Youth: Life and Death in the Bedzin Ghetto, Resilience: Women in Flagstaff’s Past and Present, and on the Berlin Wall.  He has curated the art exhibitions Wounded Landscapes.  Recently, Dr. Krondorfer was awarded a residential fellowship at the Sante Fe Art Institute on the theme of “Truth and Reconciliation”.

    “Conversations” with Dr. Bjorn Krondorfer will be live at the Mary D Fisher Theatre on Wednesday, Oct. 16 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $7.50 general admission and $6.00 for Film Festival members and students. For tickets and more information, please call 928-282-1177.  Both the theatre and film festival office are located at 2030 W. Hwy 89A in West Sedona.  For more information, visit www.SedonaFilmFestival.org.

    If I Were Curtis Sliwa
    By Tommy Acosta

    One of my guilty little pleasures is imagining what I would do if I was in someone else’s shoes, especially politicians. In this essay I would love to jump into the shoes of Curtis Sliwa, a former New York City vigilante who founded the Guardian Angels and is now running as a Republican for mayor of his city.
