Faith in Film » Movies and PopcornWelcome to films, faith and popcorn! Every month church members, friends, family and neighbours from the community gather to view and discuss highly acclaimed films. The movies we show are usually not, as one might expect, explicitly religeous or spiritual. The main criterion in their selection is that they represent the best quality from around the world and that they touch on the basic issues common to the human condition. In the discussion that follows, we tackle the ethical and theological issues arising from their content. There are many surprises as we discover images, metaphors, and concepts in secular films that echo traditional spirituality. Sin, forgiveness, redemption, salvation, resurrection and sacrament are themes that may be found in all films that have caught the public imagination. Please feel free to join us. We meet the third Wednesday of every month at 7 pm, but dates are sometimes changed to accomodate other church activities. Check our Calendar for details.
