Da Vinci Code sparks discussion at local church

A few community members gathered at the Christian Church of Woodland each night this week to discuss the validity of a book The Da Vinci Code. Rev. Larry Love, pastor at the Christian Church, directed the roundtable discussion during the church's Vacation Bible School. Using passages from The Bible, The Da Vinci Code and expert theologian sources he examined the novel and its claims. The book itself centers around the character Robert Langdon and his search for the secret of the Priory of Sion, a mysterious society whose mission is to protect the Holy Grail. Within it, Brown makes several claims dealing with the role of women in early Christianity, the divinity of Jesus Christ and the creation of the bible. [More]
