How have I never heard of this until now?? Christopher West and the folk-rock group Mike Mangione & The Union have been going on tour together to promote the Theology of the Body to Catholics and non-Catholics alike. From the ‘Fill These Hearts’ website:

Furrow 24 Productions, in association with the Theology of the Body Institute and Ascension Press, is proud to present Fill These Hearts: God, Sex and the Universal Longing -An Evening of Beauty & Reflection on John Paul II’s Theology of the Body.

With music, light, video and other art forms, Fill These Hearts presents the message of Theology of the Body in an artistic event, couching Christopher West’s presentation in a redeemed atmosphere of art, culture and beauty, making contemplatively present in color, shape, and sound, the themes from JP II’s profound and timely work on the meaning of human sexuality.

Fill These Hearts merges the best of what we’ve come to expect from a Christopher West workshop with art, music, and culture — think of a symphony, a ballet, or an indie-rock concert for the soul…

Sounds like a wonderfully entertaining and spiritually enriching evening. Keep an eye on their tour dates to find out if and when it comes to a town near you. I’m only seeing two in the U.S. right now – both relatively close to my hometown! I’m so there!
