Meet God at the Movies

Meet God at the Movies will discuss the movie The Way for its exploration at 6:30pm Monday, March 21.

The Way is a 2010 American-Spanish drama film directed, produced and written by Emilio Estevez and starring Martin Sheen, Deborah Kara Unger, James Nesbitt, and Yorick van Wageningen. In the movie, Martin Sheen plays a father who heads overseas to recover the body of his estranged son who died while traveling the “Camino de Santiago,” and then decides to take the traditional pilgrimage route in France and Spain himself.

The Saint Philip’s movie discussion group gathers for a general exploration of the film itself, then to plumb it for theological content in the area of creation (what is the world of the story like); what is broken/where is sin; is there a moment of turnaround, repentance; and where is redemption or the reign of God visible.

All are welcome to join the discussions, but registration is required. You may register here.

Where to stream the movie? The Way is available for a nominal rental fee at several sites including Amazon Prime, Netflix, and YouTube.
