Reel Faith in Action
Sydney is hosting the Reel Dialogue Conference 2008: Reel Faith in Action, a two day conference designed for creative dialogue between the church and culture, with Christians discovering how common theological ground can be forged with story tellers, image shapers, and culture makers.

Robert K. Johnston and Catherine Barsotti (Reel Spirituality, Useless Beauty: Ecclesiastes through the Lens of Contemporary Film, Reframing Theology and Film: New Focus for an Emerging Discipline, Finding God in the Movies: 33 Films of Reel Faith)
Mark Seton, University of Sydney, (CineDialogue, Screenvision)
Sandy Boyce (National Faith Development Consultant for the Uniting Church in Australia)
Charlie Brammall (Chaplain the entertainment industry and head of ENTER - The Entertainment Bible ministry);
Grenville Kent
(filmmaker and lecturer at Wesley Institute).
The conference will be held over two full days (9am - 5.30pm) with an optional dinner on Friday August 29 to talk and network with the speakers and a film and group discussion held on Saturday afternoon.
Partnering with The ELM Centre, Uniting Church NSW Synod Youth Unit and Communications Unit and media partners Sydney’s 103.2 Radio Station and Insights magazine, the conference is designed for ministers, ministry agents and interested film enthusiasts.

Hey Duncan - will you be coming down for the Reel Dialogue Conf? It would be great to catch up first hand (although Kerry has given a pretty good report).
