THIS FRIDAY NIGHT!
December 5, 7 pm at 2083 Sunset Cliffs

The next Cinema of Resistance features a film set in a dystopian future, complicated by wealth inequality, mass migration (complete with people in cages), violent underground rebellion, and what seems to be an utter loss of hope (sadly, it’s not so much a fiction anymore).

Into this scenario arrives a child, born in an entirely unexpected way, who may just rescue the world from despair. It is a Christmas movie in disguise, made by an Oscar-winning Mexican director. This free screening is presented by the Ocean Beach Cinema Circle and Resurrection OB.

Following the film, an expert panel will respond. This month's guests include Dr. Jacqueline Hidalgo, a USD theologian who specializes in how Indigenous communities use apocalyptic literature (such as the Book of Revelation) to resist empires. Also joining us will be Heather Ross, Associate Professor of Philosophy at PLNU, who will guide us in exploring hope through the lens of religious and secular philosophical texts.

Free tickets available here:

We will also announce the upcoming slate of films for 2026, which will feature Comedies as Resistance. To learn more, email [email protected] and ask to join the Cinema of Resistance mailing list.

Part of a series of free, public film screenings to inspire, enlighten, and heal us in such a time as this on the 2nd Friday of each month

This Sunday, we enter the quiet contemplation of Advent. Join us for a respite from the holiday bustle, and a counternarrative to the season’s consumption.

All are welcome at 10 am on Sundays to pause, breathe, and dare to hope for the coming of Emmanuel, God with us.

Sometimes contemplating the divine through the allegory of parental experience can be problematic. I know I’ve personally projected my family wounds and unhealed parental issues onto God quite a bit.

And I’ve sure seen unhealthy, even abusive and narcissistic versions of parental power projected onto man-made images of God to falsely justify oppressive religion.

But on this Christ the King Sunday, we remember that Jesus showed us a new kind of power - divine power that nurtures and redeems. It isn’t punitive or punishing, but fully embraces with real grace and love and wisdom ALL of who we are - in all our grief and in all our hope.

That’s the kind of Source and Spirit we sing to and about and cultivate without our own being, our own presence together.

See you this Sunday for Worship Service together at 10am.
