I went to see the film "Call + Response" today in Chicago. I heard about the documentary a couple weeks ago at the Catalyst Conference. Musicians from a wide range of genres along with actors, politicians, journalists, and professors contributed to this piece highlighting human slavery in its various forms. I am feeling an increasing responsibility as a Christ-follower to educate myself on justice issues and to consider how I am to respond. Certainly the church needs to be a voice rescuing women and children from these horrors.
My favorite line in the film: "Justice is what love looks like in public."
I hesitate to write this blog because I feel so inadequate to speak to justice issues...I certainly have not done enough to "love in public." But I wanted to post to encourage you to see the film if you have the opportunity. It is getting limited exposure (showing through Thursday in downtown Chicago and in 17 other cities). It's definitely worth the time.
