I stumbled across and watched the movie preview for the documentary “Jesus Camp” (www.jesuscampthemovie.com) and I was shocked. I should probably reserve judgment until after I see the movie but if it is anything like the preview, I am not sure if it is a movie I want to see – I had a hard enough time trying not to scream at my computer when I watched the trailer -it made me angry and disturbed. I don’t know about you but I have a whole different view of our mission as followers of Jesus and of our response to the world than this camp does.
This is not a camp I’d send my kids to! What happened to canoeing, wide games, scary stories, camp fires and really bad camp food?
Hey Bryce – I watched this clip yesterday – the only part I could relate to was the pastor’s desire to be radically different than the rest of the world – I guess in the world but not of it – but the way they portrayed the children felt so contrived and put on. Scary. And the pastor’s comment that she didn’t feel that the clip misrepresented the camp makes me scared to see the film – can’t imagine what else is going on there.
Not for me and my kids.
