TODAY'S DIALOGUE - August 15, 2002
This page is updated by 2:00 pm (PST)
Part
1 of 2:
Film Forum: Family-Friendly Fare from Fancied Fathers of Filth
- Christianity Today
What would Jesus boycott? Or would he even bother? Last
week, I asked readers their opinions about the boycott of the Walt Disney
Company and its affiliates, which began in 1997, especially in light
of the apparent resurgence of family-friendly, faith-oriented films
coming from Disney's family of film studios.
- The first part of this article talks about boycotting. This is what
DinnerDialogue.com will focus
on today. How effective do you think boycotting is? What other alternatives
are there to boycotting?
- How does boycotting, picketing, or rallying portray Christian beliefs?
How does it give Christianity a black eye?
- What would Jesus do? Take some time to do a Bible study together.
Use the Bible Study Tool below to help you. Start with the words influence
and opposition.
