The Arts & Faith Ecumenical Jury — 2018

First Reformed

The Arts & Faith Ecumenical Jury votes annually on the films from most recommended for a Christian audience. These are not all meant to be films explicitly about faith, but in one way or another, they invite spiritual contemplation or challenge and expand our notion of the art that can be meaningful for people of faith.
