Dialogue: 0,0:04:33.61,0:04:39.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,By focusing on icons of faith,\Nwe would get people to reexamine

Dialogue: 0,0:04:51.78,0:04:53.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we would create islands of stability

Dialogue: 0,0:05:08.66,0:05:11.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the painted buildings would become\Nsculptures in the landscape

Dialogue: 0,0:05:41.24,0:05:43.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It was complicated.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:43.60,0:05:46.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We were confronted with\Nthe hierarchy of decisionmaking
Dialogue: 0,0:05:46.39,0:05:48.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,within religious establishments.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:48.69,0:05:51.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For example, with Catholic churches,\Nwe were told that the archbishop

Dialogue: 0,0:05:54.64,0:05:56.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so we wrote a letter\Nto the archbishop.

Dialogue: 0,0:06:02.40,0:06:04.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And with other houses of worship,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:04.89,0:06:07.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we were told that the patrons,\Nthe people that pay for the building

Dialogue: 0,0:06:10.04,0:06:13.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,would have to make a decision.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:13.11,0:06:16.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then we came head-to-head\Nwith the long legacy of missionary
Dialogue: 0,0:06:16.33,0:06:20.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and donor dependence that so impedes\Nunconditional civic action,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:20.61,0:06:22.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we learned this the hard way.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:22.60,0:06:24.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There was one community

Dialogue: 0,0:06:29.97,0:06:32.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so we would keep going back

Dialogue: 0,0:06:41.30,0:06:43.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then we learned\Npainfully late in the game

Dialogue: 0,0:06:49.01,0:06:52.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so we challenged them,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:52.52,0:06:54.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we asked the question,
