Rev. Kelly Barber facilitated this month’s movie discussion group.
City of Angels is a 1998 American romantic fantasy film starring Nicholas Cage and Meg Ryan. It’s a love story between a female doctor (Meg Ryan) and a heavenly angel (Nicholas Cage). When Cage finds out that he can be seen by Ryan, he longs to give up his immortality to become human. Once he becomes human, he realizes the true meaning of love, and with that, the consequences of the fragile nature of life around him.
This movie was chosen for its spiritual themes of how it falls in line with the Four Principals of God teachings, the power of thought, the arrogance of the ego, and the desire for experience. This movie has a beautiful non-judgmental point of view for all of it.
You can find this movie on YouTube, Amazon Prime, and Google Play.
Rev. Kelly created a playsheet for us to use as a guide to contemplating this movie.
