Apols for not posting recently – things have been uber busy! I have about 4 posts on the go, but have found little time to sit and finish them properly. As soon as I do they’ll be straight up here.
In the mean time, my good friend and colleague Peter has written a brilliant series of posts on how to use films to get people talking about what they believe.
Films are great for starting discussion, once you realise that someone is very deliberately telling you how they see the world. Then it’s just a matter of working out whether you agree or disagree.
As a Christian, and as a human being, there is usually something I can affirm or resonate with, even if it just a search for hope and meaning, however misguided that search becomes. But I can also offer an alternative. If they’re used well, films can open up some really big topics, and raise the questions our friends didn’t realise they were asking. And if you follow Peter’s advice, you’ll be well on your way…
