Thank you for your response. As the "God in Film" sermon series is getting popular, the legality of showing clips is getting very important, and I've been doing quite a bit of research on this. Regarding this part of your response:
"According to the Digital Media Law Project website (2014), copyrighted works such as music and movies may be performed or displayed without permission in the course of face-to-face teaching. I think a sermon would qualify."
I know it's been a year, but I went to the DMLP website, but could not find where it said that, which is almost a perfect reply to our unique needs... could you possibly find the link/page that you are referencing, so I can show that to our senior staff?
Thank you for your help with this, blessings on your ministry,
