Confessions of *Failure and Success

"Jesus Camp", a must see

This past weekend I went on a retreat with my father, brother-in-law, my dear friend and his father. During our time together in a worn down cabin which will cause the strongest sinus’s to crumble under the weight of the allergenic in the air.

After a time of reflection, reading and prayer we watched the movie “Jesus Camp”. During the wonderfully directed and filmed movie, the unveiling of a Christian perspective takes place. For me the context portrayed was all to familure. I was raised in a religious environment which promoted the charismatic movement in a fundamentalist context. It was clear to me that the “end was near” and we were the ones getting it.

As I watched the film which beckoned back to my upbringing, I was overwhelmed with the sense of what has formed my theological views, and how I see the church today.

I recommend this movie to anyone living in the North American contest who wants to ask the questions of how we move forward in relationships with the diversity of religions which promote a definitive reality of how to experience God through the Spirit. Please watch this movie in the community you are placed in and begin to ask questions about why we believe what we believe?
