Finally getting around to finishing up the 'God's Not Dead' Trilogy; Oh God, they made a 4th one. Anyway, 'A Light in Darkness' follows up on the Reverend Dave Hill's (David A.R. White) storyline, neglecting most of the others.
Hadleigh University wants to evict St. James Church, made easier perchance when someone accidently on purpose causes a gas explosion. The Reverend Hill brings in his semi-estranged brother John Corbit (Nina Vardalos's hubby in the 'Big Fat Greek Wedding' movies) to help out, because of course he happens to be a 'social justice' lawyer. Much clichéd, hack writting from a paranoid worldview, the persecution of Evangelicals... in Arkansa.
Still there is a germ of something in the brothers relationship, and the film does manage to show more grace then I had expected, at least towards the end. It sure is clumsy though, too often undermining its best points by filling the air that should be occupied by reflection, with cheese. *
