For The Bible Tells Me So
With all the clashes over sexuality, faith, and biblical interpretation that have rocked the Christian world over the past years, we are in danger of losing sight of the real people, straight and gay, who must live within the tension of rejection while continuing to trust in God.
For the Bible Tells Me So brings us back to the solid truth of real people who have had to struggle through the painful division between faith and accepted beliefs about homosexuality, following five Christian families’ road through Scripture and Christian institutions as they come to terms with their gay or lesbian family member, including the family of Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson, whose consecration continues to be challenged by conservative members of the Anglican Communion.
The movie was only shown in a few theatres in Los Angeles, and Progressive Christians Uniting is excited to be able to make it available to the wider community in free church screenings. We invite you to come see this award-winning documentary and take part in discussions about this issue over the next few weeks. Come with your friends — progressive or conservative! This is the movie that can make the difference.
Watch the trailer online!
