Movie Time 2

The Ninth Day

I watched this last night. It is about a priest from Luxembourg at the concentration camp Dachau. He is given 9 days leave so the Gestapo can attempt to use him to convince the Bishop of Luxembourg to embrace the occupying Nazis.

Regardless of your doctrinal belief it is a great tale of faith and sacrifice.

BTW it is in German, so ya have to use the subtitles

Sounds great!

Yeah, it's a great tale based on a book written by Myron Augsburger-a Mennonite teacher, author, theologian. Michael Sattler is considered one of the great leaders & martyrs of our movement.

Funny story about this film--when I was going to the Reformed Baptist church one member, a school teacher, was using this film to discuss to his class about religous persecution (and it was a public school). Now being reformed anything (other than believer's baptism) that wasn't calvinist was sorta looked down upon. I remember saying to this teacher, "If you and I were in that time, and since we only accept believer's baptism, we'd both be put to the stake, and reformed/calvinist theology wouldn't save you." He looked at me funny and said, "I guess you are right".

Most of the Calvinist Baptists don't realize they have more in common with anabaptists than they do with presbyterian/reformed.

Michael Sattler is considered one of the chief leaders/organizers and martyrs of the movement.

Funny story: At the Reformed Baptist church I used to attend there was a school teacher using this film in teaching religious persecution. I said to him that if he (staunch calvinist that shared little in common with anabaptists other than believer's baptism) and I were in that day we'd be called anabaptists and put to the stake regardless of any "reformed" theology we held--our actions would be louder than any doctrine/creed we held. He looked at me and said "I guess you're right".

Calvinist Baptists don't realize that they have more in common with anabaptists than they do with presbyterian/reformed.
