About this Event
On the eve of the fall of Communism, a high-level diplomatic treaty established a college exchange program between America and the Soviet Union. Elizabeth Scott was chosen to go to the Soviet republic of Georgia, where she lived with families who came to be dear friends and studied the language and culture.
When her Georgian friends joined peaceful demonstrations demanding freedom from the USSR, and Soviet tanks rolled into town and brutally crushed the demonstrations, Elizabeth had to discover whether there was anything she could do to help.
Join Elizabeth in a cross-cultural adventure to the mythical land of the Golden Fleece, and its unique culture, language, alphabet, and form of ancient Christianity -- at a time when it was captive to an inhumane totalitarian state. With her, discover what it means to be a "human person" instead of a "Soviet person."
Elizabeth Scott Tervo's poetry and short stories have appeared in the Wheel, Ruminate, the Basilian, Eye to the Telescope, Ham*Lit, Wood Between Worlds, and won a prize at Inscape. Her debut poetry collection is Eve in the Time Machine. (2023) She coordinates the Doxacon Seattle writers group for Christianity and speculative literature and is a Presbytera in the Greek Orthodox Church.
