AN AFTERNOON AT THE MOVIES #1 –
THE MISSION
Sun. 10th September
1.00pm
Contemporary film offers a rich source of theological reflection
and discussion.
The Divine doesn’t only meet us in sacred texts, but human creativity
continues to explore the mystery in rich and varied ways and to
communicate powerful truths through the arts. The challenge is
always open to us to mine the breadth of life’s experiences for
wisdom and insight. A few times a year the Cathedral will screen
a movie in the Darnell Room and allow time for discussion of the
themes and issues explored in the film.
In September, we will be screening
The Mission
, a 1986 British
period drama film about the experiences of a Jesuit missionary in
18th century South America. Written by Robert Bolt and directed by
Roland Joffé, the film stars Robert De Niro, Jeremy Irons and Liam
Neeson.
All are welcome to join us for this first event of what will hopefully be
a rich way to explore big ideas in the company of good friends.
