Church of Scotland Rejects Boycott
Posted on by jessia

The Christian Post reports the Church of Scotland had rejected the call to boycott The Golden Compass, instead describing the story as a hagiography, ‘The Church of Scotland said she is “one of the powerless who turns out to be a saint, and so the film is an invitation to dialogue on human purpose and destiny, the abuse of power, the making of choices and the meaning of life.”‘ The Church will instead release a leaflet accompanying the release, hoping that it will help stimulate discussion among and engage young people in its congregations in a way they can relate.

    I very much respect the Church of Scotland, they seem be aiming the right way in their pursuits. As a fellow Christian, I am proud to see that there are others who see the good virtues of this book series!

    Yeah when I saw the movie, the beginning was fascinating.
