CNN
Presents “God’s Warriors” Last summer CNN presented this six-hour series featuring Islam, Christianity and Judaism. The programs explore the basis and nature of religious fundamentalism and what happens when radical belief and action are mixed. Deftly tackling this potentially explosive topic, correspondent Christine Amanpour showcases the volatility that ensues “when piety meets politics.” She says, “There are millions of people around the world who feel that their faith is being ignored — pushed aside — and they are certain they know how to make the world right. We cannot and should not ignore them. And, with this report, we’ve tried to explain them.” Along with a prepared study guide, Pastor Alan Lindberg, of Slinger, Wisconsin and Sun City Grand, will host the series each week. He has served in ELCA congregations in North Dakota and Wisconsin. He was the host and producer for 15 years of “Face to Face,” a Sunday morning religious talk show, on Milwaukee’s NBC TV affiliate. This education and discussion series will be as follows: They draw inspiration from the Book of Ezekiel: “Ye
shall dwell in the land that I gave your fathers.” For them, Israel’s
victory in the Six-Day War in 1967 meant the fulfillment of prophecy.
They believe that when Jews return to their Biblical homeland and live
according to the Torah, then the Messiah can come. Following the war
that redesigned the map of the Holy Land, Jewish settlements in the captured
territory have become the central uncompromising principle of right-wing
Jewish settlers. Islam is the fastest growing religion in America and Europe,
and tension between Muslim and Western cultures is also growing. A recent
Pew Forum poll found that young Muslims were almost twice as likely as
their parents to attend mosque and identify themselves as Muslim first
and American second. They are also more outwardly religious, more likely
to wear Muslim dress and more pious than older Muslims. Perhaps most
unsettling was that 26 percent thought that terrorist suicide bombings
can sometimes be justified. In the late 1970s, modern conservative Christians began to play a bigger role in American politics, largely in response to the U.S. Supreme Court decision to legalize abortion, Roe v. Wade. The Rev. Jerry Falwell founded a faith-based political movement, the “Moral Majority.” By the 1980 national election, the group had played a role in the defeat of 12 incumbent U.S. senators. In his last interview, conducted just one week before his death, Falwell gave new insight into the founding of the movement, his three-decade battle against abortion, and his feelings about the upcoming presidential campaign. “God’s Warriors” was filmed in the United Kingdom, Egypt, Iran, the West Bank, the Netherlands and the United States. Be sure to take advantage to become informed on this vital topic by attending all the sessions on Tuesdays in April from 6:30 - 8 p.m. in the Social Hall. Prophets
and Prophecy Taught by Robert Wright, Ph.D. Robert Wright, Professor Emeritus of Hebrew Bible at Temple University, will share his knowledge and wisdom on the topic of prophecy. His PowerPoint presentation will explore the following areas of thought:
In order to accommodate the schedules of both Alan Lindberg and Robert Wright, and bring their excellent educational resources to Lord of Life, Pastor Jan’s “Table Talk” Bible study on Jesus’ parables has been postponed until a later date. Return to top |
