What was the best spiritual film of 2005? I’m not talking about the latest “Left Behind” flick, or even “The Gospel,” but rather: What big, mainstream film offered both the highest-quality filmmaking and a meaningful, thoughtful spiritual message? That’s the question we’re trying to answer with the first-ever Beliefnet Film Awards.<\/a> We’ve put together a panel of experts–including several of the regular Idol Chatter bloggers whom you know and love–to debate the options and vote for a winner. But we’re also looking for your input and your vote, so speak up and let us know what you think.<\/p>\n

But, wait, there’s more: In addition to naming a Best Spiritual Film<\/a> of 2005, we’re also going to name the Best Spiritual Documentary<\/a> of last year and a Lifetime Achievement<\/a> winner.<\/p>\n

Click here<\/a> to see all the nominees, read what our panelists say, and cast your vote. And remember–if you don’t vote, you can’t complain about the winners when it’s all over. So let us know what you think, before it’s too late.<\/p>\n
