Christian Group Petitions Against Tarantino Film

A Christian group are arguing that the rating of Quentin Tarantino’s latest movie “Django Unchained” should be now classified as “NC-17”.

Quentin Tarantino’s “Django Unchained” under fire

The Christian Film and Television Commission are challenging the Motion Picture Association of America, and is petitioning for children under the age of 17 to be restricted from watching it.

On the CFTVC website it says the film is “the most violent movie of the year and is full of  brutality, graphic violence, and crude language.”

Django Unchained, starring Jamie Foxx and Leonardo DiCaprio to name a few has been described by the group as “grotesque” and is currently rated “R”.

The organisation’s campaign is in light of the recent Sandy Hook School tragedy in America.

Christians Urged To Pray For Nelson Mandela

Cape Town’s Anglican Archbishop has asked fellow Christians to pray for Nelson Mandela.

Mr Mandela, 94, was admitted into hospital on 8 December, and is receiving treatment for gallstones and a lung infection.

Archbishop Thabo Makgoba fasted for 3 days after Mandela was hospitalised; and is urging the Christian community to pray his health is restored.

While officials have said his condition has improved, it is likely that the former South African president will spend Christmas in hospital.

Archbishop Desmond Tutu has said that he is also praying for the Mandela family.
