Quick Follow-up to "Should Christians Boycott The Compass?"
I think it important for us to re-evaluate what our intended goals are in protests and boycotts and is it worth the price we pay in our influence and in communicating love to a world that is looking for it anywhere they can find it.
Perhaps that's why they look for love in the darkness...they can't see the light in us.
December 5 Addendum: Here is an excerpt of an article by Albert Mohler offering a good perspective on the movie:
HT for Mohler article: Tim EllsworthA good first step would be to take a deep breath. The Christian faith is not about to be toppled by a film, nor by a series of fantasy books. Pullman has an agenda that is clear, and Christians need to inform themselves of what this agenda is and what it means. At the same time, nothing would serve his agenda better than to have Christians speaking recklessly or unintelligently about the film or the books.
This is about the battle of ideas and worldviews. While Christians will not celebrate the release of this film, we should recognize the mixture of challenge and opportunity that comes with millions of persons watching this film and talking about the issues it raises. When the movie is mentioned in the workplace, in school, on the playground, or in the college campus, this is a great opportunity to show that Christians are not afraid of the battle of ideas.
