The Christian & secular society :: Robert Forsyth [ 32:38 ] Download (134)

Bishop Robert Forsyth explores the relationship the Christian should have with secular society – going right back to Jesus famous teaching ‘Give to Ceaser what is Ceasar’s and to God what is God’s’ from Mark 12. Bishop Forsyth goes on to explore how Christians can live faithfully in a secular society. Speaking at Village Church Annandale one week before the NSW State Election.

Join us for a special screening of Scott Pilgrim Vs The World, a pop-culture extravaganza of a movie which has incredibly vivid things to say about the world we live in. From relationships to violence, attention spans to avoidance of reality, Scott Pilgrim will provide excellent fodder for our in-depth conversations after the film. Viewers are encouraged to openly discuss how the Christian worldview reflects upon Scott Pilgrim’s universe, exploring the fascinating and troubling messages presented by one of 2010’s cult favourite film.

Join us for an engaging, entertaining session of getting under the skin of cinema, assisted by Ben McEachen’s provocative thoughts on what Christian Theology has to say about Scott Pilgrim Vs The World.

We’re looking for input from you on what movies we should show in the upcoming Village Movie Club: Film and Theology evenings. Could you please express a view in the comments field.  We’re looking for thought provoking discussions on film and theology.  Here are some of the movies we are considering:

• MEMENTO (2000): Excellent, mind-bending film (told backwards) about a man consumed by revenge. From the director of Inception and The Dark Knight.
• DONNIE DARKO (20001): Another excellent, mind-bending film which could be about everything from sacrificial love to time travel, mental illness and 1980s music. A huge cult classic.
• JUNO (2007): Hip, quotable movie about a pregnant teen girl plannin to adopt out her baby. Hugely popular film.
• THE HURT LOCKER (2010): Best Picture Oscar winner about a bomb-disposal expert who thrives on the knife-edge of life and death.
• ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND (2004): Visually amazing and conceptually rich film about a couple who decide to erase their memories about each other. A cool, unforgettable film.
• UP IN THE AIR (2010): Fantastic, provocative comedy/drama about a professional loner (George Clooney) who sees no need for human connection.
• DOUBT (2009): A minefield of theological, ethical and human issues revolving around a hardcore nun (Meryl Streep) who, despite having no concrete evidence, is convinced that a priest (Phillip Seymour Hoffman) has abused children.
• CHILDREN OF MEN (2006): Terrific near-future allegory about a crumpled man who becomes the unlikely guardian of a rpegnant woman (the first in the world to fall pregnant in 25 years).
• SAMSON AND DELILAH (2009): Revealing, uncomfortable portrait of indigenous youth in Australia, a realistic depiction of povery, homelessness, prejudice – and hope.
• TWILIGHT (2009): Pop-culture phenomenon. Enough said.
• NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN (2007): Taut, unsettling portrait of men behaving at a primal level – and how hard that can be to understand.
• THE MATRIX (1999): Superb mix of philosophies, special effects and cinematic coolness.
• A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE: Hard hitting but exceptional fable about a man trying to leave his violent past – and being utterly unable to do so.
