jesus camp
Friends, it's movie time.Jesus Camp is a 2006 documentary by Rachel Grady and Heidi Ewing about a Pentecostal summer camp for children who spend their summers learning and practicing their "prophetic gifts" and being taught that they can "take back America for Christ.” According to the distributor, it "doesn't come with any prepackaged point of view" and tries to be "an honest and impartial depiction of one faction of the evangelical Christian community”. Jesus Camp was nominated for the 2007 Academy Award for Best Documentary.
Join other 20- and 30-somethings, married and single, on Thursday June 14 to watch it. We'll gather at 7pm and toast to Mike's new house in Herndon, and start the movie at 7:30. Feel free to bring some sort of edible/drinkable contribution, and friends, and all of your past experiences with religious camps--good and bad.
We will send out directions in an email to the meshcommunity@yahoogroups.com list--so make sure you join!

This is a great, and shocking, movie! I wish I could join you, and hope to, soon -- I will be moving to Richmond (just finished seminary and was ordained last week as a transitional deacon) to be the Chaplain of St. Catherine's School, but keep me posted on what's up with Mesh! I hope to connect with y'all sometime soon!
