Christmas Repentance during Lent?

Posted by Biynah on Feb 27, 2009 under Christmas, Epiphany

As I was reviewing content for the Lent-Easter blog, this film surfaced, and I thought I’d include it as the final posting before Advent 2009:

There aren’t many portrayals of the Gospel in movies that are positive toward Christians or Christ. But this one - What Would Jesus Buy? - delves beneath the surface as it documents the quest of “Rev. Billy and the Stop Shopping Choir.” It goes by very quickly for 91 minutes.

This troop of performers has chosen a theme and developed it in a manner to capture the attention of the public, as they campaign against the idolatry of consumerism. Its message is so relevant now. And the ticket price is absolutely right - zero deenero, nada. So make your own snacks and settle down in front of your computer for some smiles.

What Would Jesus Buy?
