I’m going to file this under the “I have an eclectic set of online friends & acquaintances.”

I first met Rev. Vince Anderson after attending a Revolution church service led by Jay Bakker when he was preaching in NYC a number of years ago.

He’s one of the most unique and talented religious types I’ve ever met. And, apparently, he’s got a full-length documentary about his time in “ministry” currently being screened at various festivals.

This is on my “I want to watch” list for sure. Take a look at the trailer:

THE REVEREND follows the spiritual and musical journey of Reverend Vince Anderson. After coming to New York in the 90’s to enter seminary, Vince dropped out to follow his second calling – music.

With his band The Love Choir, he has played a now-legendary weekly show for over twenty years. Reconnecting with his faith and using his intense soulful music, he began to preach a type of spirituality that meets people where they are, is open to all, and moves everyone that sees him play.

Reverend Vince is also deeply involved in social activism, working with other progressive Christians at home and around the country to build inclusive communities. Filmed over four years in a largely observational style and featuring Questlove and members of TV On The Radio, The Reverend is a stirring concert film as well as an intimate portrait of Reverend Vince’s inspiring personal and spiritual life.
