Exquisitely written, A Thousand Moons is a stirring, poignant story of love and redemption, of one woman's journey and her determination to write her own future.

The events that will inevitably follow, shall entrap Sebastian within the unknown dimensions of his sleeping subconscious and as a result, a door shall be opened. Although not a sound penetrates the infinite darkness, a sound is made just the same.

As for Michael Reed, Sebastians best friend, his path will cast him down into eternal darkness from which there will be absolutely no return. Doorways are everywhere, even those that shouldn't be there to begin with. Still, just because they shouldn't, doesn't mean that they aren't there and just because we cannot see them, doesn't mean that they dont exist.

Colonial missionaries, both Catholic and Protestant, arrived in India with the grandiose vision of converting the pagans because, like St. Peter (Acts 4:12) and most of the church fathers, they honestly believed that there is no salvation outside the church (extra ecclesiam nulla salus). At the end of the "great Protestant century," however, Christians made up less than 3 percent of the population in India, and the hope of the missionary was nearly shattered. But if one looks at mission in India qualitatively rather than quantitatively, one sees a number of positive outcomes. Missionaries in India, particularly Protestant missionaries espousing the social gospel, in collaboration with a few ...
On March 31, 1943, the musical Oklahoma! premiered and the modern era of the Broadway musical was born. Since that time, the theatres of Broadway have staged hundreds of musicals--some more noteworthy than others, but all in their own way a part of American theatre history.
