LORD SAVE US FROM YOUR FOLLOWERS

A recent documentary has caught the attention of some of America’s most influential thinkers. The documentary, provocatively titled Lord Save Us From Your Followers, is described this way.

“Though nine out of ten Americans claim a belief in God, public expression of faith is more contentious as ever. Even as discussion of religion floods the media like never before, the rhetoric is divisive and hyper as the 2008 elections loom on the horizon.Lord, Save Us From Your Followers is the energetic, accessible documentary that explores the collision of faith and culture in America. Fed up with the angry, strident language filling the airwaves that has come to represent the Christian faith, director (and follower) Dan Merchant set out to discover why the Gospel of Love is dividing America. Utilizing a broad array of expert interviews, man-on-the-street bits, hilarious animations and “I’ve never seen that before” stunts, Lord, Save Us From Your Followers brings everyone into the conversation that this country is aching to have.”

The film is an equal opportunity offender--it does not matter where you fall on the religious/political/social map . . . you will be challenged by this film. Hopefully, you'll walk away asking "What does it mean to be Christian in today's climate?"
