<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>=C2=A0</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=
ngs. <a href=3D"https://community.elca.org/page.redir?target=3Dhttp%3a%2f%2=

>&quot;Martin Luther: The Idea that Changed the World&quot;</a> is a featur=
e-length film that revisits the dramatic moments that shaped Luther=E2=80=
=99s life while examining his quest to share the good news of the freeing l=
ove of Jesus Christ. The film, sponsored by <a href=3D"https://community.el=

96f7a15dfae" target=3D"_blank">Thrivent</a> and in collaboration with the E=
LCA, is available for use as a Reformation anniversary activity. <br><br><s=
trong>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 self-punishment of his time in the monastery, the theological breakt=
hrough that 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&#39;s enormous cultural impact as a champion for the dignity of eve=
ryday work and as a popularizer of the ideas that would morph into a renewe=
d understanding of the freedom we have in Christ. <br><br>In a quest for au=
thenticity, the movie was filmed in the castles, monasteries and cobbleston=
e streets of eastern Europe. Luther scholars were involved in all aspects o=
f the production to further ensure historical accuracy, including ELCA theo=
logians Richard Perry, Kirsi Stjerna, Mary Jane Haemig, Kathryn Johnson, Ja=
ne Strohl, Mark Tranvik, Vitor Westhelle and Timothy Wengert. Every sentenc=
e Luther speaks in the film is taken from his writings, talks and sermons.<=
br> <br><strong>Movie-showing opportunities</strong><br>The movie presents =
a unique outreach opportunity for members to invite friends and neighbors t=
o a community gathering =E2=80=93 a possible first step in learning more ab=
out the Lutheran tradition. <br><br>You are invited to add this theatrical =
release to your congregation=E2=80=99s Reformation anniversary events, whet=
her 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>=C2=A0=C2=A0 <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=

</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=
