This great short speaks volumes on church in America! Where is the line between opening up access to church and experiences of God, and dangerous compromises that remove all meaning from faith? Can the Revolution bring Jesus to the world without dumbing him down and allow our damaging over-commitment to convenience, consumerism, and individualism? Enjoy!
Scott Bartchy is a radical. He believes in a subversive system that embraces those on the fringes of our society and seeks to establish a new way of life that goes against the status quo.
Kind of like Jesus.
Bartchy, currently the Director of the Center for the Study of Religions at UCLA, notes a great gap between the original, early form of church in the first three hundred years of Christianity, and the modern concept of doing church today.
