AN AFTERNOON AT THE MOVIES #1 – THE MISSION

Contemporary film offers a rich source of theological reflection and discussion. The Divine doesn’t only meet us in sacred texts, but human creativity continues to explore the mystery in rich and varied ways and to communicate powerful truths through the arts. The challenge is always open to us to mine the breadth of life’s experiences for wisdom and insight. A few times a year the Cathedral will screen a movie in the Darnell Room and allow time for discussion of the themes and issues explored in the film.

Sun. 10th September 1.00pm

In September, we will be screening The Mission , a 1986 British period drama film about the experiences of a Jesuit missionary in 18th century South America. Written by Robert Bolt and directed by Roland Joffé, the film stars Robert De Niro, Jeremy Irons and Liam Neeson. All are welcome to join us for this first event of what will hopefully be a rich way to explore big ideas in the company of good friends.
