This movie is a tool for evangelism. The full version runs about eight minutes, and we hope you will show it at your next parish gathering. It is posted below in easy-to-download segments. The film was directed by Hugh Drescher, a parishioner at St. Columba's and the principal of Drescher Films in Arlington. The film was edited by David Dill, who is currently enrolled in Yale Divinity School as a candidate for Holy Orders, sponsored by his home parish, St. Mark's-Capitol Hill. He served on the vestry at the time the film was made and is scheduled to graduate and be ordained a deacon next spring.

The film focuses on the three priorities of Bishop Chane's episcopate: congregational life, youth and academic ministries and outreach to the needy. It does so without using those phrases, but by telling the stories of a handful of our parishes and parishioners.
