Writer Brenda Suderman and photographer Mike Deal continue to explore the attics and corners of the city’s community-run museums this summer. Today they visit the shockingly huge collection at Manitoba Electrical Museum at 680 Harrow St. This 20-year-old museum highlights the history of the electrification of Manitoba, as well as displaying a wide array of electrical appliances and gadgets. The museum is now open 1 to 4 p.m. Tuesday to Saturday. Admission is $3 and free for ages 5 and under. Under public health measures, visitors must be fully vaccinated; unvaccinated children must be accompanied by fully vaccinated members of their household.

God s Not Dead 2 is the follow-up to the huge 2014 box-office hit from the same studio that brought out similar Christian-themed movies like Do You Believe and Faith of Our Fathers. These aren t Christian movies like, say, Mel Gibson s Passion of the Christ, Carl Dreyer s The Passion of Joan of Arc, or D.W. Griffith s massive epic Intolerance. Those were films vibrating with faith that also had high and often visionary artistic value. But Faith of Our Fathers, Do You Believe, God s Not Dead, and now God s Not Dead 2 are cheaply and often shoddily made, and aimed at a specific demographic. The films are the ultimate in preaching to the choir. They re so rooted to this specific time and place in American evangelical Christianity that future generations, even Christian generations, might watch them and ask each other, Wait . can someone look up Duck Dynasty, because it seems to have been very important to these people.
