Suitably Impressed

I was kind of shocked last week when the bulletin at church (OK, it's titled "The Navigator" or some such but we all call it the bulletin) contained an ad for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Which, and the Wardrobe. No, not at the length of the movie title which threatens to be longer than the movie itself, but that Disney, you know the company boycotted by the Baptists, was partnering with evangelical Churches to promote their Christian movie. So church members are getting a sneak preview and group rates for the movie -- just like for The Passion of the Christ. I guess Disney decided there was money in them there churches, and we evangelicals are a forgiving lot. Yes I do plan on seeing the movie, but then I also look forward to the Harry Potter movies. I'll be able to tell what side Disney is truly on if the witch's dying words are "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays".
