Did anyone else look at this and go- hmmmm...

I was thinking that this would be a good community opportunity and by that
I mean, for our churches to get together. Either at a theater that we all
publicize or at one of our bigger churches like POP, Bethel, CGS. I'm just
thinking out loud and wondering if anyone other churches might be
interested.

Dear Friends in Christ,

Martin Luther triggered a seismic upheaval that shaped the course of
Western Christianity for almost 500 years.



Now, in a new movie created for the 500th anniversary of the Reformation,
your congregation can further explore Luther and the impact of his
teachings. "Martin Luther: The Idea that Changed the World"
<https://community.elca.org/page.redir?target=3Dhttp%3a%2f%2fnewluthermovie=
.com%2felca%2f&srcid=3D128067&srctid=3D1&erid=3D27556732&trid=3D10170a07-90=
e2-4a29-8324-296f7a15dfae>
is a feature-length film that revisits the dramatic moments that shaped
Luther=E2=80=99s life while examining his quest to share the good news of t=
he
freeing love of Jesus Christ. The film, sponsored by Thrivent
<https://community.elca.org/page.redir?target=3Dhttp%3a%2f%2fwww.thrivent.c=
om%2f&srcid=3D128067&srctid=3D1&erid=3D27556732&trid=3D10170a07-90e2-4a29-8=
324-296f7a15dfae>
and in collaboration with the ELCA, is available for use as a Reformation
anniversary activity.

*About the movie*
The film vividly portrays the key moments in Luther=E2=80=99s story: the li=
ghtning
storm that nearly killed him, the bleak self-punishment of his time in the
monastery, the theological breakthrough that reset Christian thought and
his ongoing drive to reconnect the church to its original anchor.

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 understanding of the freedom we have in
Christ.

In a quest for authenticity, the movie was filmed in the castles,
monasteries and cobblestone streets of eastern Europe. Luther scholars were
involved in all aspects of the production to further ensure historical
accuracy, including ELCA theologians Richard Perry, Kirsi Stjerna, Mary
Jane Haemig, Kathryn Johnson, Jane Strohl, Mark Tranvik, Vitor Westhelle
and Timothy Wengert. Every sentence Luther speaks in the film is taken from
his writings, talks and sermons.

*Movie-showing opportunities*
The movie presents a unique outreach opportunity for members to invite
friends and neighbors to a community gathering =E2=80=93 a possible first s=
tep in
learning more about the Lutheran tradition.

You are invited to add this theatrical release to your 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:

   - *Host a showing at a local theater.* Setting up a screening at your
   local theater is easy. You just fill out a form online =E2=80=93 choosin=
g a date,
   time and theater. All the logistics are then handled by the distribution
   company (called Tugg). There is no cost to your congregation to set-up a
   screening, however, *attendees purchase their own tickets*. (You may
   arrange for your congregation to pay for the tickets, should you choose =
to
   do so.)

   In addition, a *percentage of ticket sales are returned to your
   congregation* for designation to any mission or ministry you choose. To
   learn more about setting up a theater showing (including identifying a
   possible local theater), go to newluthermovie.com/host
   <https://community.elca.org/page.redir?target=3Dhttp%3a%2f%2fwww.newluth=
ermovie.com%2fhost.html&srcid=3D128067&srctid=3D1&erid=3D27556732&trid=3D10=
170a07-90e2-4a29-8324-296f7a15dfae>
   .



   - *Host a showing at a venue you choose.* Since not all communities have
   a Tugg-associated theater, another option is to host a showing in your
   congregation, a school or other community venue. A *license fee*
   guarantees you a DVD or Blu-ray copy of the film and the rights to show =
it
   publicly. To learn more about this option, go to
   newluthermovie.com/venue.

<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=
