“Lord of the Rings, Politics, and What’s a Christian to Do?” That’s the theme for our annual Fall Retreat (October 17-18) with special guest teacher Rev. Steve Pearson. Back for a third conversation in the series, Steve joined Pastor Chris to talk about the second movie in the trilogy, “The Two Towers.” Steve summarized the plot and characters, then he talked about themes in the movie through the lenses we've been using: power (the nature of); fellowship; and sovereignty and freedom. Food for thought: The second movie's title is "The Two Towers," both of which are evil: The tower of Saruman, the wizard, and the tower of Sauron, the main antagonist. But in some ways, Tolkien could have used "The Two Fellowships" as the title instead. There surely is a good fellowship, but to what extent are the evil characters also in a kind of fellowship?
