Church leaders are discovering the value in using films to explore theological and ethical themes. This interaction with contemporary culture can be illuminating and exciting. How do you start a film discussion group? What venues? What films? What are the legal issues? How do you lead the discussions? Exploring these questions, with the help of film clips, is Vic Thiessen who has facilitated 500 film discussions over the past 10 years.
Vic Thiessen is a Canadian Mennonite theologian who has worked as the director of the London Mennonite Centre since 2002. He is a regular speaker at Greenbelt on the subject of film and theology and he has led film discussion groups at the Guy Chester Centre and St. Ethelburga's.
Vic has hosted a film night in his home every week for the past nine years and is the film writer for the Canadian Mennonite magazine.
