Advent Consumerism

Looking to start a discussion about consumerism during Advent this year? The DVD What Would Jesus Buy? addresses our obsession with Christmas gift giving (and our resulting debt) in a fun and entertaining way. The video is a documentary about Reverend Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping Gospel Choir's cross-country tour to save the souls of Americans from the evils of consumerism. Rev. Billy warns of a coming Shopocalypse (the end of humankind from consumerism, over-consumption and the fires of eternal debt.) The DVD is 90 minutes long, but you only need to watch a portion of it to start an important discussion about how shopping has become our principle Advent practice. Watch the trailer below.
