Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
http://www.christianitytoday.com/movies/reviews/harrypotter4.html
[ChristianityToday.com] November 17, 2005--Things get more emotional, and more intense, in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. This is the fourth and middle installment in J. K. Rowling's seven-part series, and it is, in a sense, the fulcrum on which the entire saga rests. Each of the previous stories concerned a mystery that took place over the course of an entire school year, but despite a few loose threads here or there, the mysteries were basically resolved in the end. This new story starts off as just another adventure, more or less, but by the end, the situation faced by its protagonists has become much darker, and much more dire. If the previous films were like the lull before World War II, when Hitler built his army and everyone hoped nothing would come of it and life could go on as before, this film marks the invasion of Poland, so to speak. There is tragedy, and death, and we know things will get only worse.

Traditionalists prepared for period of suffering

[THe Church of England Newspaper] November 18, 2005--American and Canadian traditionalists must be prepared for a season of suffering, the Rt Rev Robert Duncan, Bishop of Pittsburgh, told a three-day rally of traditionalists called “Hope and a Future”, but the final result of the battle for the soul of Anglicanism was not in doubt, he said. The 2003 Dallas rally of traditionalists “was our Palm Sunday. The Pittsburgh Conference, ‘Hope and a Future,’ has been our Maundy Thursday. Next is Good Friday. Be watchful. Be ready,” he said. “But after that comes the resurrection and the release of mission in the power of the Holy Spirit.” Approximately 2,350 Anglicans from across the Communion gathered at the Pittsburgh Convention Center from Nov 10-12 for the traditionalists’ rally, held to bolster conservative morale in the run-up to the Episcopal Church’s 2006 General Convention to be held next summer. An eclectic series of speakers: Archbishop Peter Akinola of Nigeria, Archbishop Henry Orombi of Uganda, Bishop Robinson Cavalcanti of Recife, Canon Michael Green of Wycliffe Hall, Baroness Caroline Cox, Rick Warren — pastor of California’s Saddleback Community Church and author of The Purpose-Driven Life, as well as bishops and leaders from the Episcopal Church’s traditionalist factions, addressed the crowd over three days.

[VirtueOnline] November 14, 2005--Some imagine the future of Australia without much reference to Jesus. Even talk about values is conducted without explicit reference to him. It seems more and more difficult to bring Jesus and his teaching into the discussion.

It may be that, in a sense, Jesus is too well known, leaving us to assume that we understand what he says when in fact we don't.
[VirtueOnline] November 14, 2005--Some imagine the future of Australia without much reference to Jesus. Even talk about values is conducted without explicit reference to him. It seems more and more difficult to bring Jesus and his teaching into the discussion. This is partly through ignorance and partly because of the association between Jesus and the institutional Church. It may be that, in a sense, Jesus is too well known, leaving us to assume that we understand what he says when in fact we don't.
The Narnia Skirmishes
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/13/movies/13narnia.html
[The New York Times] November 13, 2005--Disney's new feature film, "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe," spends a good deal more time than C.S. Lewis's beloved children's book on the climactic battle between the forces of the sinister White Witch and the army of Aslan, the supernatural lion. The movie of course has the benefit of studio bean counters and recognizes that this could be the mother of all screen battles - not just your basic struggle of good and evil but a $200 million smackdown between the religious right and godless Hollywood, between C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien and, for that matter, between Aslan and King Kong, a resurrected version of whom opens in a movie of his own a few days after "Narnia" does next month. The great philosophical debate of my childhood was: Who is stronger, King Kong or Mighty Joe Young? In the Kong-Aslan matchup, Aslan, a Christ figure, would seem to have the advantage of omnipotence, but that's not to say he will prevail at the box office.

[Baptist Press] November 14, 2005--God has given every believer, in every one of our churches, a mission -– to go into the world and share the Good News about Jesus. Why?
