More Controversy, More Conversation

In case you haven't heard yet, director James Cameron is claiming to have found the coffins of Jesus Christ, his mother Mary and Mary Magdalene. Of course, there will be a movie.

I've found the coffin of Jesus, says film director

I know this will infuriate a lot of Christians. However, I think there are wonderful opportunities for witness in moments like these. When we, as Christians react with rage, protesting and boycotting, I think that sends a message to those who don't have a relationship with Christ. Whether or not our indignation is righteous, we appear to be closed-minded, judgmental and reactionary. What if, instead, we rest in the assurance of what we believe and use these opportunities to express our tolerance and open mindedness? Perhaps that might lead to meaningful conversation that helps others to see the power of our convictions. Just something to think about.

peace,

will
