Love Is A Verb is an examination of a social movement of Sufi inspired Sunni Muslims that began in Turkey in the l960s and now reaches across the globe. The group is called Hizmet, the Turkish word for service or The Gulen Movement after its inspiration, leader and beloved teacher Fethullah Gulen, a man that Time Magazine named as one of the most influential leaders in the world in 2013.
Emmy Award Winner Terry Spencer Hesser has spent three years developing this documentary. She and her team traveled to 6 countries -United States, Turkey, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Belgium, Iraq and Somalia – capturing the spirit of the movement through personal stories and interviews.
UIW professor Sister Martha Ann Kirk appears in the film because she led the film maker to people in Iraq whom she had written about in her book, Iraqi Women: Challenges, Education, and Hopes for Peace http://peacecenterbooks.com/iraqi-women/ and in her book Healing and Hope http://www.guleninstitute.org/publications/research-papers/223-hope-and-healing-stories-from-northern-iraq-where-persons-inspired-by-fethullah-guelen-have-been-serving/Details on the film showing here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/love-is-a-verbscreening-at-christ-lutheran-church-tickets-19410087093
