Top Chat with Christoph Warrack - on Totus2us | Christoph Warrack (director) chats to Ruth about OPEN CINEMA, a network of film clubs programmed by and for homeless and socially excluded people which Christoph founded in 2005: " I was working on a soup kitchen at the church in Soho Square and the homeless started to ask if they could have something more than a weekly meal, and so I started showing films, in a hall with a bunch of friends. We handmade the blinds and we painted the wall and we borrowed a projecture and we started showing films and then inviting film makers to come in and talk about those films.. So this space once a week became a place where famous film makers would drop by and introduce a film to a collection of people who wouldn't ordinarily have access to a cinema, and it was really exciting and fabulous for everyone who was involved."

Top Chat at Invocation 2010 - on Totus2us | Speakers and young people at Invocation 2010 chat to Frankie. Archbishop Vincent Nichols: "The gift that Christ gives us in His permanent presence in the Eucharist is the fullest possible expression of self-forgetful love. What we see in the Eucharist is the Lord giving us Himself totally, permanently, and in that very act of self-sacrifice. And so for those of us who seek a way of life which is centred on self-gift, on giving oneself, then the Eucharist is absolutely irresistible, because what we see in Him, in His presence, is what inspires us and constantly feeds the desire to be generous, which is so often obstructed by all sorts of our own short-comings. So we come to Him in the Eucharist because that's the source of self-giving love which we want to try to the best of ability to express in our own lives... As far as I'm concerned, the quote of the week-end is one young man here who has just said 'Well, you know, the Catholic Church, it's so young and so very modern.'" Visit Totus2us.com for much more.

Top Chat with James Burke-Dunsmore - on Totus2us | James Burke-Dunsmore (actor, artist) chats to Ruth about playing the part of Jesus over the last 12 years, particularly in the Wintershall Life of Christ, his relationship with the cast and the audience and how, as an actor, this role is so very different to all others: "Anyone who has played Christ would know this; it sets you apart from every other role.. By trying to portray Christ, you get to understand something really of the potential of an actor, it stretches you in places you just can't imagine, even in the most demanding of roles in Shakespeare or any of the greats."

Top Chat with Peter Hutley - on Totus2us | Peter Hutley (writer, producer) chats to Ruth about the plays he has written and produces at Wintershall: the Nativity Play, the Passion of Jesus, the Life of Christ and the Acts of the Apostles; how they have been taken further afield eg Trafalgar Square and are being performed around the world, particularly in prisons: "Once you get going it is infectious.. and it gathers momentum because Jesus is behind it. That is the great advantage: when you are portraying his life, He is there." Visit Totus2us.com for much more. Totus Tuus - All Yours - was the motto of Pope John Paul II to Mary.
