Outchurched

I can’t believe that I actually typed “I wish I had HBO” (I am a fairly devout non-television watcher) but it’s true. My friend Schmeeve has been telling me about an HBO special that was on this week called “Friends of God.” Thanks to the joy of YouTube, I’m now wishing I’d seen […]

I haven’t been online much recently, but the few minutes a day that I have been online, I’ve seen several comments related to “the Conversation” between the church and the body of non-believers.

I’m going to go see Jesus Camp this Friday at the Embarcadero Center in San Francisco, and I think you should too (if not in SF, then at one of the other places it’s showing, of course).

Christianity Today has an interesting article and a must-read interview with the filmmakers, Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady. […]

The President of Magnolia Pictures comments on some of the controversy around the Jesus Camp movie:

Last Friday marked the limited release of “Jesus Camp,” Magnolia Pictures’ new, controversial documentary. The film follows children at an Evangelical summer camp, as they hone their prophetic gifts and are schooled in how to take back America for Christ. […]

ABC has a video reporting on Jesus Camp:

Fisher has also been cited as believing that the movie could be used as an evangelistic tool.

People who see Jesus Camp should not come away with the idea that evangelizing to youth means indoctrination. attributed to Chap […]
