6B RELIGION/Ile ClarUint $at Tuesday, November 22, 2005 ‘Namia’ is screened Continued from page 76 London bombings during Wodd War 11. They find Nar nia through a walk-in wardrobe and help overthrow a tyrannical white witch, whose spells have turned innocent victims to stone and fixjzen the landscape in per petual winter The seven-part Narnia series has enthralled genera tions of readers. Many regard the books as Christian alle gories and the heroic lion, Aslan, as a symbol of Jesus. Lewis’ stepson, Doug Gre sham, a co-producer of the movie, was at the Focus on the Family book store to sign copies of his new book ahout Le™, “Jack’s Life.” He has said viewers can draw their own conclusions eibout whether the film has religious overtOTies. “We will be attacked for being too Christian by secu larists and atheists but will be attacked by Christians for not being Christian enough- We’re right in the middle,” Gresham ssdd. Some moviegoers said they see the story's themes of good vs. evil and sacrifice as impor tant messages for Christians, Christianna Fc^er, head of St. Stephen’s Episcopal Day School in Colorado Springs, said she hopes parents will oi^anize groups to go see the movie and that children will be inspired to read the book. “It’s really good fco* kids to read and see and learn how to woik out these hard situa tions," she said. Screening of films at Focus on the Family has become more common as more film makers attempt to tap Chris tian audiences. Mel Gibson’s ‘The Passion of the Christ” was shown there before its release in 2004. Focus on the Family will also host a viewing of ‘The End of the Spear,” a movie about the slayings of missionaries in Ecuador in 1956 due out in January, Lisa Anderson, Focus’ publicity director, said.

We’re out of step with most other Western nations.” The Geniuses of Diversity is a University of Arizona club led by 19-year-old Christo pher Bischof, a sophomore, history m^jor and atheist who is organizing a living-will event on campus. He says he wants to give students an alternative to the myriad reli gious groups on campus. Bischof and fellow student Nick Borst, also 19, came up with the idea of a club for non believers during the nation wide Tferry Schiavo controver sy about end-of-life issues. “Chris and I felt like there wasn’t enough representation on campus for people who did n't buy into the whole oi^a- nized religion thing,” Borst said. T see us bringing broad er debate to campus.” When the group held its first meeting last month, the topic that sparked the most passionate discussion was how nonbelievers can get along with parents and other relatives who are religious. Some had tips, others shared painful stories of alienation fium religious relatives. “We want to let students know it’s OK if you don’t fol low organized religion, as long as you have some sort of val ues and try to be a good per son in life,” Borst said. Protest to remove God from money THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SACRAMENTO, Calif - Three sign-carrying protest ers, tracked by an equal num ber of news media, staked out the house Saturday of an atheist whose latest effort seeks to ban “In God We TVust” fix>m U.S. currency Tt looks like it’s going to be kind of low-key,” said Dick Otterstad, who organized the protest on behalf of the Church of the Divide. The small, Bible-based church meets in homes near Geoige- town, east of Sacramento Michael Newdow was not at home, but Otterstad said protesters hoped to persuade neighbors to pressure New dow over his efforts to take God out of the classroom and off the nation’s cash. “We want to begin to put pressure at ground zero, at the foundation of this attack on the country” Otterstad said. ‘It’s a culture war. It’s not just the courts.” Newdow has spent the last four years trying to ban the Pledge of Allegiance from being recited in public schools, an effort that reached the U.S. Supreme Court once and is headed there again. On Thursday, he filed a federal lawsuit con tending the motto on coins and paper money is also an unconstitutional endorse ment of religion Protester Alex Pop of Roseville was not surprised by the small turnout protest ing what he sees as an effort to rewrite history “They wait and they wait until it’s too late,” he said, referring to fellow Newdow critics. Nei^ibors of Newdow were mostly indifferent.
