'The Crucifixion Was an R-rated Event'
Clergy reactions to The Passion of The Christ.
| posted 2/26/2004



What do you think of the film's evangelistic potential, and what are your church's plans?

Bugh: "I think the film has significant evangelistic potential. We will encourage our people to use it as a 'bringer' event and provide them material to help them address how God wants us to respond to the cross."
Hodge: "We are asking everyone to see it with a seeking friend. I am so thankful to have this incredible tool in reaching more people for Christ."
Ahlgrim: "Like many evangelistic tools, this opportunity requires people to take advantage of the doors that will open to them when they use the film to expose others to the life and message of Jesus. The film raises the issues. All we have to do is be there to talk about them."
Usry: "Mr. Gibson has planted a seed—his faith in cinematic power—and now the church is mobilizing to reach the harvest that will result from that seed."
