Friday evenings in Lent, RSVP to join us for the return of Lenten Movie Nights! Following a vegetarian meal (for those abstaining from meat on Fridays), we’ll engage with a curated series of films both classic and contemporary. This year, based on suggestions and responses to last years’ cinematic excursion, our series is based around this theme—The Tree of the Knowledge: Cinematic Visions of Good and Evil.

We’ll explore together the following questions: are innocence and goodness the same? Is evil depicted as a force, a person, an illness, a situation or pattern, an archetype…and what do these depictions say about the film-makers’ perspectives on evil and on goodness? How does the good show up—what does it look like? And how might the Church respond to or critique these visions?

On Fridays in Lent, the evening begins with a meal at 6pm, followed by the film at 6:30pm, with a discussion afterward.

Our films, drawn in part from suggestions from the previous series’ participants, are challenging, beautiful, harrowing, and thought-provoking.
