Hi All,

We had discussed this briefly in Palo Alto and I am very intrigued by the i=
dea of doing at a theater.  I am wondering about the Shoreline Century 16 o=
r the AMC 20 Mercado in Santa Clara.  I feel like there was something about=
 doing it as a fundraiser . . . perhaps Mt Cross?  I think we could make it=
 a pretty big thing.

Thoughts?

Matt

including ELCA theologians Richard Perry, Kirsi Stjerna, Mary Jane Haemig, =
Kathryn Johnson, Jane Strohl, Mark Tranvik, Vitor Westhelle and Timothy Wen=

class=3D"">The film vividly portrays the key moments in Luther=E2=80=99s st=
ory: the lightning storm that nearly killed him, the bleak self-punishment =
of his time in the monastery, the theological breakthrough that reset Chris=
tian thought and his ongoing drive to reconnect the church to its original =
anchor. <br class=3D""><br class=3D"">Along the way, viewers will learn of =
Luther's enormous cultural impact as a champion for the dignity of everyday=
 work and as a popularizer of the ideas that would morph into a renewed und=
erstanding of the freedom we have in Christ. <br class=3D""><br class=3D"">=
In a quest for authenticity, the movie was filmed in the castles, monasteri=
es and cobblestone streets of eastern Europe. Luther scholars were involved=
 in all aspects of the production to further ensure historical accuracy, in=
cluding ELCA theologians Richard Perry, Kirsi Stjerna, Mary Jane Haemig, Ka=
thryn Johnson, Jane Strohl, Mark Tranvik, Vitor Westhelle and Timothy Wenge=
rt. Every sentence Luther speaks in the film is taken from his writings, ta=
lks and sermons.<br class=3D""> <br class=3D""><strong class=3D"">Movie-sho=
wing opportunities</strong><br class=3D"">The movie presents a unique outre=

g> Setting up a screening at your local theater is easy. You just fill out =
a form online =E2=80=93 choosing a date, time and theater. All the logistic=
s are then handled by the distribution company (called Tugg). There is no c=
ost to your congregation to set-up a screening, however, <strong class=3D""=
>attendees purchase their own tickets</strong>. (You may arrange for your c=
ongregation to pay for the tickets, should you choose to do so.) <br class=
