We are glad to welcome you again to our Movie Night AT THE CHAPEL.

The Sultan and the Saint tells one of the great, lost stories from history. Set in a past period of East-West conflict, it speaks with urgency to our present. Two men of faith, one an itinerant Christian preacher, the other the ruler of a Muslim Empire, bucked a century of war, distrust, and insidious propaganda in a search for mutual respect and common ground.

It is the story of Francis of Assisi and the Sultan of Egypt, and their meeting on a bloody battlefield during the period of Christian-Muslim conflict known as the Crusades. 

This film also brings together 2 events we are organizing this October at the Chapel: an Evening of reflection and exchange: Christianity, Islam: sources of spiritual awakening in Brussels? on Tuesday October 18th and also the Exhibition of Sculptures by Rik Van Schil, O.F.M, Franciscan Father from Flanders.
