St.
Peter’s and Seekers to to show 2007 Sundance winning film “For the Bible
Tells me So” February 26th
Can the love between two people
ever be an abomination? Is the chasm separating homosexuals & Christianity
too wide to cross? How can the Bible be used to justify hate? These are the
questions at the heart of Daniel Karslake's For the Bible Tells Me So (FTBTMS).
This provocative, entertaining film concisely reconciles
homosexuality and a literal interpretation of Biblical scripture.
Through the experiences of five very normal, very Christian, very American
families - including those of former House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt
& Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson - we discover how people of faith handle,
or sometimes tragically fail to handle, having a gay child. Informed by
such respected voices as Bishop Desmond Tutu, Harvard's Peter Gomes, Orthodox
Rabbi Steve Greenberg and the Reverend Jimmy Creech, FTBTMS offers healing,
clarity and understanding to anyone caught in the crosshairs of scripture and
sexual identity.
This award-winning film will be shown at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in the
parish hall at 6pm on February 26th, 2008. After the showing, one of
the film’s consultants, the Rev. Tim Boggs will talk about the film’s
genesis and answer questions regarding its production.
The showing is free, but seating space is limited.
Please call 645-8479 to place a reservation.
