The Culture Club (Film: Evan Almighty) January 20, 2008

This is the next study session in a series of culture studies where something from the media (e.g. a book, a film, a music album) is discussed from a Christian perspective but the session is for people of all faiths and people of no faith at all who want to explore the message behind the media.

The session will start at 1pm (bring your own lunch) when we will watch the film on the big screen and the kids activities and adult discussion starts at 2:45pm and will end at 4:15pm.

There is no charge for this event.

FILM INFO
========
The following text is taken from AOL Movies.

"The last time we saw Evan Baxter (Steve Carell), he was being tormented by rival Bruce Nolan ('Bruce Almighty') on-screen, live from their Buffalo TV station. But as time passed and Evan has made up with Bruce, he's gone onto bigger and better things. Newly elected to Washington D.C. as a congressman, Evan has left Buffalo in pursuit of a greater calling. But that calling isn't serving in the illustrious ranks of American politics but being summoned by the Almighty himself (Morgan Freeman), who has handed Evan the task of building a new ark, much as Noah did before. With time passing by and his family belittled by Evan's newf-ound realisation, Evan will have to do the work that God has given him in what promises to be an unusual adventure for a man who just wanted to serve his country, might actually be serving humanity."
