This is a neat interview with “Reverend Billy” who created a film, “What Would Jesus Buy.”  Rev. Billy is actually a character created to do what amounts to “theological street theatre.”  So, if you go to the site remember – he’s not a Televangelist, he just plays one on TV.

How do I feel about doing exorcisms as street theatre?  Well, it’s not something that I would do, but Bill Talen (the actor who created and plays “Rev. Billy”) has done some serious reflection on doing what he’s doing and why, so he’s worth listening do.  I won’t be doing any exorcisms at local Wal Marts, but I also wonder if perhaps Bill would be disappointed if his viewers started doing Wall Mart exorcisms because they would have missed the point.
