SUMMARY:Documentary Screening  | "Leap of Faith"
DESCRIPTION:Twelve diverse Christian leaders find hope and fellowship at a series of boundary-breaking retreats in Grand Rapids\, Michigan. Brought together by Michael Gulker of The Colossian Forum\, five women and seven men struggle with some of today’s most contentious issues. The divisions between them become apparent and test both their common belief in the universal importance of love and kindness and the bonds they build over the course of a year.\n\nInspiring and provocative\, LEAP OF FAITH explores whether we can disagree and still belong to each other in a divided world.\n\nFollowing the screening\, there will be a Q&A with award-winning Director Nicholas Ma. Ma is an award-winning director\, writer and producer based in Brooklyn. He produced the documentary Won’t You Be My Neighbor? about the life of Fred Rogers\, which premiered at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival\, and most recently the WNBA documentary Unfinished Business\, which premiered at the 2022 Tribeca Film Festival\n\nJoin the Event Online\nDue to the weather challenges\, we are also making this event available via zoom. \nClick here to join the zoom meeting.

SUMMARY:Advent Conversation | Heaven & Earth: Advent and the Incarnation
DESCRIPTION:Watch out. God is on the way.\nIt’s not within our own power to make a fresh start. If we’re to have a future different from the past\, it must come as a gift\, something not of our devising. What we need is a God who refuses to be trapped in eternity\, a God who not only cares about us but is willing to show up among us and do something with us\, here\, now. \nIn Heaven and Earth: Advent and the Incarnation\, Will Willimon introduces you to the God who does just that\, bringing heaven to earth and changing everything. In Advent we celebrate and anticipate the earth-shaking\, life-transforming good news that God is coming to us. Watch out. Get ready. God is on the way. \nWe will meet for two sessions to discuss the book and follow-up on the live Q&A we hosted on December 9 via zoom with the author.

SUMMARY:A Time for Burning - Film Screening and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Watch and Discuss with the Good Shepherd Community\nA Time for Burning is a 1966 American documentary film that explores the attempts of the minister of Augustana Lutheran Church in Omaha\, Nebraska\, to persuade his all-white congregation to reach out to “Negro” Lutherans in the city’s north side. The film was directed by Bill Jersey and was nominated for Best Documentary Feature in the 1967 Academy Awards. The film was commissioned by Lutheran Film Associates (LFA). \nThe film was remastered by the Academy Film Archive and premiered at the Oscars Museum in Los Angeles on December 17\, 2023. The film is shot in “cinéma vérité” style. It chronicles the relationship between the minister\, L. William Youngdahl\, and white and black Lutheran parishioners. The film includes a meeting between Youngdahl and a black barber\, Ernie Chambers\, who tells Youngdahl that his Jesus is “contaminated.” At one point another Omaha Lutheran minister\, Walter E. Rowoldt of Luther Memorial Lutheran Church\, says\, “This one lady said to me\, ‘pastor’\, she said\, ‘I want them to have everything I have\, I want God to bless them as much as he blesses me\, but’\, she says\, ‘pastor\, I just can’t be in the same room with them\, it just bothers me’.” Rowoldt and other ministers also discuss the concern that blacks moving into white neighborhoods will decrease property values. The attempt to reach out does not succeed and Youngdahl resigns as minister of the church. \nIn 2005\, A Time for Burning was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as “culturally\, historically\, or aesthetically significant”. Chambers completed law school and was elected to the Nebraska Legislature in 1970. Senator Chambers is the longest-serving state senator in Nebraska history.

He is the author or co-author of four books including The Nones\, 20 Myths about Religion and Politics in America\, and The Great Dechurching.
