Pastor Bixby's protest against the evangelical ecstasy over the Passion movie

"It's the best evangelization opportunity we've had since the actual death of Jesus," Lisa Wheeler, associate editor of Catholic Exchange, a Web portal dedicated to Internet evangelism, told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

THE PASSION premieres tomorrow, and I haven't gotten involved in the bloggery about it up to this point. I'm still studying and determining what I believe is the right response to this kind of a production. In the meanwhile, I want to post my pastor's perspective. It may seem like a foreign language now, but it is SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.

Again, I'm still thinking/praying/studying over these questions and would welcome feedback. I think there are a lot of ramifications to drawing biblical conclusions, especially for artists, authors, actors who approach their work with a thoroughly gospel-saturated worldview.
