  - The movie Grey Owl relates well to Mark 1:9-17, Lent 1, the wilderness temptations. It is the true story of a British man, Archie Belaney who leaves home at age 17 to live in the wilderness of Canada in the 1920's and 30's. He is taken in by a native tribe and takes on a false identity as a native Indian. Through the relationship with a woman, Pony, a full blooded native woman searching for her own identity, Archie "Grey Owl", comes to discover his true identity and mission in life as a voice for the native way of life and as a conservationist. Only now do we see him as a prophetic voice speaking out as a man ahead of his time. (submitted by Rev. Laurie McKnight-Walker, Beachburg, Ontario)
