Please join Reconciling Ministries at CHUMC for a viewing of the documentary "For the Bible Tells Me So" at Calvary Baptist Church (755 8th Street) on Sunday, February 3rd at 2:00 pm. This is a moving documentary that has been loved by everyone who has seen it. Following the film (which has won awards at film festivals, including Sundance), there will be a brief panel discussion including Chrissy Gephardt, who is featured in the film. Then, those from CHUMC who are interested will travel out to a nearby restaurant to discus it.
Below is a discription of the film, more information can be found at: www.ForTheBibleTellsMeSo.org. Please email Laura Rossbert at Laura.A.Robertson@gmail.com if you have any questions or want to RSVP.
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 Episcopalian 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.
