Santa Fe: The Movie!

Okay, I’ve made another video…

As you know, a while back I wrote a short book (or is it a booklet?) entitled With Luther, God, and Tourists in Santa Fe. It’s part travel log, part essay on progressive Christianity, and part personal recollection of a trip Martha and I took to Santa Fe to attend something called “The Lutheran Advocacy Ministry Bishop’s Luncheon and Issues Briefing.” We’re not Lutherans ourselves, but our church sent us as representatives to see what our co-religionists were up to—which was a lot. They were involved in several social programs that impressed us no end.

Anyway, I wrote the book (which I’m giving away as a pdf. Instructions of where to get it are below), and then…

I got the urge to make it into a video. Or, more precisely, a slide animation with one my long-winded voice overs.

 

And, after much reading aloud and other fiddling around, I got the video done. It is on my Vimeo site and you can see it here: https://vimeo.com/390884002

Now, if you get tempted to watch it, great! But a word of warning. It is a long one — just about thirty minutes, making it one of the longest videos I’ve ever done.

Still, I think you might enjoy it, particularly if you have an interest in Progressive Christianity, a.k.a., The Christian Left.

Also, it is a chance for me to show off my sterling reading voice, which (I’m told) isn’t that bad.

So, give it a listen, and if you have the urge to have me read your audio book, drop me a line.

Cheers
