The "Really" File - ("Christian" Cage Fighting?)

And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other;
Luke 6:29
Christian cage fighting film pitches 'pastor vs pastor'


"A new US documentary sheds light on Christian 'fight clubs'
which uses Mixed Martial Arts as an outreach tool. Fight Church is directed by Oscar-winning film-maker Daniel Junge, and features several pastors who compete against one another in the ring and even run ministries which train young fighters.

There are also contributions from Christian MMA fighters who have made careers in mainstream fighting competitions and say their faith informs and supports their participation in violent sport.
From the "Really" File
Fight Church has just been released on DVD and on-demand in the US. The 84-minute film, which has attracted broadly positive reviews, seeks to answer the key question: "can you love your neighbor as yourself, and at the same time knee him in the face as hard as you can?"
