Last night's Confirmation Class focused on our heritage. We talked about our Jewish, Catholic, Episcopal and Methodist heritage. I had a lot of information on all of this, but it would have been pretty dry without something to break up them just listening to me talking.
Not having any videos on hand, I checked on the web. I found a video on YouTube for a movie that was published by United Methodist Publications. It is called Clayride: A Gallop Through United Methodist History.
Although now obvious to me from the name, I didn't realize it was a claymation video until it started. That took me back to the days of Gumby! After you get over the cheesy music as well, you will see that there is a lot of good history packed into a 4 minute video. I especially liked how it touched on Methodist stances on various social issues. It also mentioned our Evangelical and United Brethern backgrounds.
I hope you check the movie out. It's fun and educational! :)
I really enjoyed your video on methodist history. It was a neat quick take on it all.
