My wife and I love films and talking about them. So when we heard about a weekend of film lectures and discussion at English L’Abri at Greatham, Hampshire in October, we jumped at the opportunity to go.
How may we gain spiritually from film and discussion? This was to be a stimulating environment in which to find out. Six films were shown, two on Friday evening and four throughout Saturday with discussions to follow, and a lecture entitled ‘Keeping us honest — film as a sacred secular experience’. Here are some observations from three of the films and the lecture to give you a taste.
