<p>Dear Friends in Christ,<br><br>Martin Luther triggered a seismic upheava=
l that shaped the course of Western Christianity for almost 500 years.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now, in a new movie created for the 500th anniversary of the Reformation=
, your congregation can further explore Luther and the impact of his teachi=

 target=3D"_blank">Thrivent</a> and in collaboration with the ELCA, is avai=
lable for use as a Reformation anniversary activity. <br><br><strong>About =
the movie</strong><br>The film vividly portrays the key moments in Luther=
=E2=80=99s story: the lightning storm that nearly killed him, the bleak sel=
f-punishment of his time in the monastery, the theological breakthrough tha=
t reset Christian thought and his ongoing drive to reconnect the church to =
its original anchor. <br><br>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 understandin=
g of the freedom we have in Christ. <br><br>In a quest for authenticity, th=
e movie was filmed in the castles, monasteries and cobblestone streets of e=
astern Europe. Luther scholars were involved in all aspects of the producti=
on to further ensure historical accuracy, including ELCA theologians Richar=
d Perry, Kirsi Stjerna, Mary Jane Haemig, Kathryn Johnson, Jane Strohl, Mar=
k Tranvik, Vitor Westhelle and Timothy Wengert. Every sentence Luther speak=
s in the film is taken from his writings, talks and sermons.<br> <br><stron=
g>Movie-showing opportunities</strong><br>The movie presents a unique outre=
ach opportunity for members to invite friends and neighbors to a community =
gathering =E2=80=93 a possible first step in learning more about the Luther=
an tradition. <br><br>You are invited to add this theatrical release to you=
r congregation=E2=80=99s Reformation anniversary events, whether at a local=
 theater or in a venue of your choice. Here=E2=80=99s how you can show this=
 new film:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Host a showing at a local theater.</strong> Setting up a screen=
ing at your local theater is easy. You just fill out a form online =E2=80=
=93 choosing a date, time and theater. All the logistics are then handled b=
y the distribution company (called Tugg). There is no cost to your congrega=
tion to set-up a screening, however, <strong>attendees purchase their own t=
ickets</strong>. (You may arrange for your congregation to pay for the tick=
ets, should you choose to do so.) <br>&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>In addition, a <stro=
ng>percentage of ticket sales are returned to your congregation</strong> fo=
r designation to any mission or ministry you choose. To learn more about se=
tting up a theater showing (including identifying a possible local theater)=
, go to <a href=3D"https://community.elca.org/page.redir?target=3Dhttp%3a%2=
f%2fwww.newluthermovie.com%2fhost.html&amp;srcid=3D128067&amp;srctid=3D1&am=

=3D"_blank">newluthermovie.com/host</a>.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Host a showing at a venue you choose.</strong> Since not all co=
mmunities have a Tugg-associated theater, another option is to host a showi=
ng in your congregation, a school or other community venue. A <strong>licen=
se fee</strong> guarantees you a DVD or Blu-ray copy of the film and the ri=
ghts to show it publicly. To learn more about this option, go to <a href=3D=
