God In The Movies: Part 1-Walk The Line.

Barry Taylor, who blogs at Nevermind the Bricolage, teaches at both Fuller Seminary and Art Center in Pasadena, and is always insightful, gave the sermon this past Sunday at All Saints' Beverly Hills, as part of a three part series called "God in The Movies." (We are in Hollywood, so what do you expect.) You can listen to it here (about 15 minutes of your time, but worth it).

Barry connects the Transfiguration (Sunday's Gospel reading) to the movie -- both are about finding light. He discusses the need to listen to voices (Johnny Cash listened to voices and God's admonition is to listen too). We just have to find the right voices to listen to.

And, if you like Barry, you should read the book he co-authored with Craig Detweiler , "A Matrix of Meaning; Finding God In Pop Culture."
