I just discovered your documentary and would like a copy. Since the date listed here is 2015 I want to first make sure you are still selling this documnetary.
I was a first year student at the time of the walkout. It is impossible to explain the extent of the impact that event had upon my life. In your trailer you mention it was about the Historical-Critical method, but it was more than that; at its core it was about the nature of the Gospel.
The Seminex experience forced the students to be more theologically astute than we might otherwise have been since wherever we went we needed to able to defend our position. I value the experience for that reason, although it took me a few years following graduation to find a congregation willing to take an ecclesiastical nomad.
Please let me know about the video’s availability.

And some labor of love your video is! I saw it all at a Bible Study at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Seaford, Long Island. My friend, Pr. Ron Klose told me about the video. He started seminary at Christ Seminary-Seminex the following year. I graduated in 1974 and was among those who left campus and went into exile. You have done a most powerful and moving telling of our story, which, as my classmate Dave Krause said so well, has changed his perception, mine, and the church at large forever.
I’ll be sending my check soon to pick up my own copy.
Give my best to Glen Ellyn, Illinois. I grew up there from 1956-63, and was confirmed at Grace Lutheran in 1962. Peace and good.
