My other issue with this movie - it makes it seem like these folks are doing something "new." Sure, there is a growing movement of people who are interpreting the gospel differently, but I've spent time with nuns, priests, good people who have been doing this all their lives. They may not be "cool" enough to make a movie about, but they are definitely faithful people. The Catholic Worker Movement began in the 1930s and continues to this day. Catholic Workers are some of the most dedicated faithful and humble people I know. Yes, we need to raise more awareness about alternative ways of interpreting scripture in our culture. But is a movie really necessary? Once again, it confirms some of my hesitations about this movement of "Ordinary Radicals" and the way it is ego driven.

Nevertheless, it has primarily been a minority position, and not all of that by choice. If this movie draws people's curiosity into some of the ideas and actions embodied by these 'ordinary radicals' than I say more power to it.

Hi! We'll have the movie in theaters Sept 4th (let us know if there's a good indie theater that'd be interested in screening).
It'll also be available as a DVD or web download. head over to theordinaryradicals.com to pre-order the DVD and help support!
We're on the road following Shane Claiborne's Jesus For President book tour right now,pretty exciting!
