2001: A Space Odyssey

2001 embodies the myth of progress in its iconic opening sequence: technology will ultimately save us.

The practice of Sabbath teaches us to say no to the god of Progress and rest in the life God invites us to.

This is the season of the year when people start to think about monsters – ghosts and goblins and things that go bump in the night. We normally don’t think of monsters having anything to do with the Church, but we’d be wrong. The reason people tell monster stories is that monsters are a safe way to talk about things we’re not ready to admit about ourselves. We don’t want to see ourselves as selfish, unforgiving, ill-tempered. So we tell stories. We create monsters.
