The Baptist General Convention of Missouri is developing a video resource library to assist churches as they train their leaders. Contact the convention office if you would like to reserve one of the videos listed below, and check back to learn about new resources.
Theologians under hitler
This
film, based upon groundbreaking research, introduces the viewer to three of
the greatest Christian scholars of the twentieth century: Paul Althaus,
Emanuel Hirsch, and Gerhard Kittel, men who were also outspoken supporters
of Hitler and the Nazi party. This provocative film asks: how could
something like this happen in the heart of Christian Europe? Could it happen
again? How does the scholarship of this period affect the church today? Does
the church of today retain the ability to recognize profound evil? The
one-hour video is an excellent way to stimulate discuss. You may want
to invite some of the participants to form a panel discussion following the
presentation. Contact the convention office to
reserve the video for presentation in your church.
New World Hunger DVD Resource
The
Baptist General Convention of Missouri is excited to announce that the
Baptist Center for Ethics is releasing a new DVD designed to educate, equip
and empower Baptists to address cooperatively global poverty. The BGCM
helped underwrite the DVD and will provide a FREE copy of it to any Baptist
church in Missouri that requests it. Click the link below for more

VIDEO: The Spirit at Work
Have you ever
been connected with a group of people who were faced with an almost
impossible task? Perhaps together you put in the extra effort to get the new
product out. You pulled together and set aside ego and title, just rolled up
your sleeves and got the job done. It felt great. Wouldn’t it be wonderful
to connect like this everyday? This is easier said than done!
In this new video, The Spirit at Work,
best-selling author James Autry offers a perspective that can help. His
ideas are down to earth and useful. He contends that it all depends on five
ways of being. These five principles will allow us to nurture our own Spirit
at Work.
"There is no business; there are only people. Business exists only among
people and for people. Seems simple enough, but not enough people seem to
get it."—James A. Autry
