Zoom MOM – Movies of Meaning

Zoom MOM – Movies of Meaning

Monday, May 24, 2021 @ 7pm

We will be watching and discussing the film American Heretics: The Politics of the Gospel.

The film asks the question…. “At what point in our history has the line between church and state

become so entangled and polarizing?” …. and then “… challenges what we think about the Christian heartland by offering a rare personal glimpse into the contentious and often misunderstood history of religion, race and politics in America.”

The film includes segments featuring Dr. Robin Meyers of Mayflower UCC Church of  Oklahoma City, OK. If you remember,  Dr. Meyers spoke at Christ Lutheran  a number of years ago as part of our Annual Speakers Program. His presentation was better than excellent! You will find his contribution to this film excellent as well!!

As our church continues on its “Journey” and proceeds with the implementation of its strategic plan, there is no better time than now to explore together questions about faith, politics, polarization and other powerful influences that shape our individual journeys. Exploring our attitudes together can be informative, enlightening, healing and lead to

personal transformation. Please make every effort to join us and participate in this opportunity. It would be helpful if you would jot down your observations and questions prior to the meeting to facilitate the discussion
