Have you noticed how much spirituality there is in TV and movies these days? I went to TV guide and here’s some of what I found on the subject:

X Files—“The Truth is Out There”
Veritas: The Quest
Miracles
Its a Miracle
Touched by an Angel
Bewitched
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
City of Angels
Dark Angel
Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman
Haunted
Monk
The Others
Sabrina: the Teenage Witch
Six feet Under
Tales from the Crypt
The Twilight Zone & The Twilight Zone 2002
The Outer Limits
Witchblade
Xena: Warrior Princess

This list doesn’t include some of the shows that may regularly touch on spiritual issues.

Here are a few movies off the top of my head that do the same thing:

Lord of the Rings
Star Wars
The Matrix

What does this mean for the church? Do people find meaning in the church anymore?

So true its gushing out all over. It happening in music as well. Sting's "dead man's rope" and "send your love" and rapper kanye west "jesus walks" for example. I'm starting a monthly discussion group on faith and culture to have conversation about faith & music, movies T.V. art etc. see more at my blog www.mosaiclife.org/blog.php
