D.C. Screening Stimulates DiscussionOK, Kerry wasn't really there. But read on.The screening of ARTICLE VI at the Heritage Foundation on January 31st was well attended and very exciting. It provided material for many blog entries that we will be sharing over the next few days. I'm personally very grateful for all who attended, and excited by the potential for healthy dialog.Part of the discussion

Real People, Reel PerspectivesLast night’s screening in Shreveport was a huge success. The crowd – that overflowed in to the balcony area - was larger than expected and very engaged. After a rousing ovation, the audience hung around for questions for an hour. The makeup of the audience was an interesting mix of students, professors, local leaders, and members of many local area churches. Bryan

Which America is Your America?In this film, we share one man's journey into the world of American politics and American religious views. And because that man (director Bryan Hall) is a Mormon, his perspective includes questions about Mitt Romney and why many evangelical Christians have chosen not to support him.It’s interesting stuff. But the film doesn’t touch on Romney’s campaign or positions

Candidate Appeals to Doctrine in South Carolina Swing"I believe in the redemptive death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. I believe that that faith gives me a path to be cleansed of sin and have eternal life."So said Barak Obama this week in an interview with Christianity Today.Why does this statement matter? Is Barak Obama trying to make people aware of his faith because so many think he's a

ARTICLE VI, Ben, Sally, and the Papal NuncioOur online event today has been a very interesting one, and has drawn some delightfully diverse commentary.Salley Morem offered the following comment:I watched your trailer and it made a number of excellent points about the dangers of applying a religious test to candidates for high office in America.I'll be even more impressed when avowed atheists and

Audiences Share Their PerspectivesOn Monday and Tuesday of this week, we shared "ARTICLE VI: Faith. Politics. America." with audiences in Atlanta, Newport Beach, and Salt Lake City. I attended the latter two screenings.As film makers, we were unsure how a large audience would take the film. As artists, we were nervous, but grateful for the large crowds. In Newport Beach, the beautiful old Lido

Have you ever wondered if we're asking the right questions?We have.Let's start with a reality check: It is unrealistic to pretend that religion will be kept separate from politics, because both speak to morality, community, and action.Across the globe and throughout history, we can cite many examples of the wrong way for religion to interact with politics.So, what is the right way? It is our
