Film Story Theology

Bring your favorite move snack and join us as we watch a movie on the big screen set up in the parish hall and discuss how it intersects with our lives and our relationship with God.

The next Film Story Theology session will take place on Monday, May 5 at 7pm in the Parish Hall. We'll be watching the move "For the Bible Tells Me So"

About "For the Bible Tells Me So:

Can the love between two people ever be an abomination? Is the chasm separating gays and lesbians and Christianity too wide to cross? Is the Bible an excuse to hate?

Through the experiences of five very normal, very Christian, very American families, including those of former House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt and Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson, we discover how insightful people of faith handle the realization of having a gay child. Informed by such respected voices as Bishop Desmond Tutu, Harvard's Peter Gomes, Orthodox Rabbi Steve Greenberg and Reverend Jimmy Creech, For the Bible Tells Me So offers healing, clarity and understanding to anyone caught in the crosshairs of scripture and sexual identity.
