“I believe that more people in the United States and in the world find their way into theological conversations, faith conversations, in and around viewing films at theaters or at home with video tapes or DVD’s! These evenings around films will help discern the theology going on in films, develop an enhanced understanding of the art form of film, encourage an appreciation of the interweaving of cinematography and theology, and how they might help us understand our own life experiences.”
Pastor Jerry Ebbinga |
We will view discuss each film as a group. We may substitute another film for one of these if the group is interested in some particular film . . . or we might go and view a current film in an area theater and follow that with a discussion . . .
