Film Series: Materiality as Resistance with Walter Brueggemann

April 21, 2020 by Darren Wright

This series of videos comes from The Work From The People, we have a subscription to their catalogue and have made a number of the films available with discussion/reflection material for people to use in their faith formation. Please do not distribute the films beyond the GUC community, or upload to youtube or facebook.

Description:

Welcome to this film series with Walter Brueggemann discussing thoughts from his new book, Materiality as Resistance: Five Elements for Moral Action in the Real World. Materiality as Resistance is a textured teaching about who we are called to be in the world through the lens of loving God, loving ourselves, and loving our neighbor. Walter discusses faith and our responsibility to one another, and how churches can model collaborative social structure, and goes so far as to invite individual believers and church leadership to start considering making decisions with the neighbor and neighborhood in mind.
