Jesus Camp

have you seen the documentary Jesus Camp? it's the Academy Award nominated film that looks at Pastor Becky Fischer and her "Kids on Fire Summer Camp." once you start watching it you cannot take your eyes off it. it is one of the most thought provoking films i've ever watched. Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady, the filmmakers, let the cameras roll and Jesus Camp is what they captured. watching it, there were times i was uncomfortable, there were times i was freaked out, and there were times i thought these people were out to lunch. however, is this because of my lens and my experiences not matching theirs, the people captured on film, or is it discernment? i don't know yet. i need to keep watching the film, thinking about it, studying scripture, and listening to other peoples thoughts on the film. this film could generate great conversations and thought sharing. watch it! write about it! let's see what can be captured on blogs and in conversations. however, where ever we fall on the subject and however we feel about it, let's respect and love our brothers and sisters in Christ. we can disagree about methods, styles, and paradigms, but in the words of Christ, let's "...love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another." (John 13:34, NRSV)
