February Meeting

February 01, 2013 3:14 PM | Anonymous member (Administrator)

When: Friday, February 22, 2013, 7:30 to 9:00 A.M.

Where: Crowne Plaza Hotel, Timonium MD

Speaker: Peter Dans, Author & (Retired) Physician

Topic: Christians in the Movies

Cost: FREE for “first timers”, non-members $10

Christians in the Movies traces the arc of the portrayal in film of Christians from 1905 through 2008. For most of the first six decades, the portrayals were favorable and even reverential. By contrast, from 1970 on, Christians, and especially Catholics, have often been treated with hostility and, at times, outright ridicule. Dans demonstrates this shift, by decade, through in-depth reviews and commentaries on almost 200 films, examining various causative factors such as the abolition of the Hays Motion Picture Production Code; the demise of the Catholic Legion of Decency; and the associated profound societal and cultural changes. From a look at the real story behind the Scopes trial to portraits of actors, directors and writers most prominently associated with films involving Christians and Christianity, Christians in the Movies provides a great resource for those who wish to select films for showing at churches, universities or for personal viewing and for understanding and discussing how to reverse this unhealthy societal trend.
