Film shoot for 'The invocation'


Today I had the great privilege to be asked to give an interview for a new movie called 'The Invocation'.

It is an ambitious project where the Director / Producer (Immanuel Etier) has gone around the world interviewing persons that he has identified as 'religious leaders' from various faiths - Christians, Muslims, Hindus, and even politicians and scientists etc.

I'm not sure how I got on the list... But, I am thankful to have had a chance! Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nelson Mandela and various other significant South Africans were interviewed for the movie.

If you're interested in finding out about the project you can watch the video below. It is a 7 minute youtube video.



I was asked questions about my view of God, my understanding of the role and function of religion, the relationship between Christianity and other faiths, and of course the role of faith in bringing about peace and combating religious fanaticism. It was wonderful to meet Emmanuel, he is a wonderful, energetic, and passionate person.

I'll let you know when I find out when the movie will be screened. The aim is to have it done by November this year and roll it out across the world.
