Speaker: Dr. Quinn Fox, Associate Pastor for Discipleship, National Presbyterian Church Title: Animated Virtue: The Gospel According to Pixar
For the past 28 years intergenerational audiences of all ages have delighted in the animated films of Pixar. Beginning with Toy Story in 1995, these films consistently feature some variation on the theme of redemption, with narratives that depict characters in refreshing ways as flawed protagonists who discover that they need to repent of their foolish decisions. Join us for an exploration of the Biblical wisdom and virtues that are to be found in this genre of popular culture. Films like Toy Story, WALL-E, Up, and Finding Nemo offer unexpected grace, and insight for living, well through the lens of faith.
Quinn Fox has served on the pastoral staff of National Presbyterian Church since July, 2011.
Summer Speaker Series
What is the future of Christian community? As the world comes to grips with the impact of the pandemic and quarantine, exacerbated by increased polarization, what does that mean for the followers of Jesus Christ? Each Sunday this summer we’ll hear about an important aspect of our life together—as the Christian community and as Christians in the larger community context in which we live our daily lives. We will meet in person in Stone Fellowship Hall, 9:45-10:45 am, beginning Sunday June, 18 through August 27. We will also take advantage of technology to enable both remote attendance each week, as well as to have one or two remote speakers join us from across the country.
