The way to deal with the challenge of the media is to be better at understanding it than anyone else, and to be able to relate it God’s word.

If we can develop our capacity for double listening, we will avoid the opposite pitfalls of unfaithfulness and irrelevance, and be able to speak God’s Word to God’s world with effectiveness today.

The moving picture has become a preacher, and its sermons are most effective because they are addressed to the eye rather than to the ear.
K.S. Hover, 1911

Film is the most significant and powerful of today’s media.
David Thompson

The moving images stirs our emotions rather than engaging our minds.
Ingmar Bergman

More is said than what is spoken.David Porter
![Page 11: CT2010: Dialogue session 2 - Worldviews, film analysis and the gospel](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/5462ebebaf7959a4058b4c65/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
All stories teach, whether the storyteller intends them to or not. They teach the world we create. They teach the morality we live by. They teach it much more effectively than moral precepts and instructions.
Philip Pullman

Traditionally, most philosophical investigation took place in the universities, and most spiritual reflection took place in the churches.
However, in recent years that seems to have changed. Now, arguably, most philosophical investigation and spiritual reflection takes place in the cinema.

Our double identity: disciples and witnesses
John 17

Worldviews
![Page 18: CT2010: Dialogue session 2 - Worldviews, film analysis and the gospel](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/5462ebebaf7959a4058b4c65/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
[Everyone] has a worldview. Whenever any of us thinks about anything – from a casual thought (Where did I leave my watch?) to a profound question (Who am I?) – we are operating within such a framework. In fact, it is only the assumption of a worldview – however basic or simple- that allows us to think at all.
James Sire
![Page 19: CT2010: Dialogue session 2 - Worldviews, film analysis and the gospel](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/5462ebebaf7959a4058b4c65/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
A worldview is a commitment, a fundamental orientation of the heart, that can be expressed as a story or in a set of presuppositions (assumptions which may be true, partially true or entirely false) which we hold (consciously or subconsciously, consistently or inconsistently) about the basic constitution of reality, and that provides the foundation on which we live and move and have our being.
