Film Night

We would love to see you at our film night on the 10th September at 7pm. This is a new venture for Colinton Mains Parish Church and we would like you to join us to enjoy this beautifully crafted film.

The End of the Spear is a dramatic film which introduces us to the Woadani tribe in the rain forests of Ecuador in South America, the attempt of five Christian missionaries to contact them.

The story is told through the eyes of Steve Saint, the son of one of the missionaries, as his father Nate Saint along his colleagues Jim Elliot, Pete Fleming, Ed McCully, Roger Youderian make initial contact with the remote tribe only to be speared to death at the next meeting.

The missionaries’ wives and children take on the work of their fathers and husbands. They and we, the audience, are forced to examine violence and how we react to violence and the possibility of forgiving the perpetrators of violence.

The missionaries and their families display incredible human traits. They display courage in the face of danger – they are willing to sacrifice a normal life to help others – they show respect and tolerance to primitive people. But most impressive of all, they retain their humility and do not look down on others.

The cinematography and music are stunning. The Amazon jungle becomes the third character along with the tribe and the missionaries.

We are then hosting a discussion/review night on Sunday 11th September also at 7pm to discuss the themes of the film and our responses to it, while we eat.

If you would like to come then simply print off the image above and bring it with you on the night as a ticket.

looking forward to seeing you there.
