The Two Towers And The Prince Of Peace And Light
(Originally published for December 29, 2002)
Whether or not you've seen The Two Towers, the new Lord of the Rings movie, you can bet a fair number of your parishioners have, especially (but not limited to) the teens and young adults. The late J.R.R. Tolkien, the author of the books on which the Rings movies are based, was a Christian, and wrote Christian themes into his books. This new Rings movie provides a good opportunity to talk about the mission of Christ, using the movie as a starting point.
