FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO
Documentary film presentation at Mershon Auditorium [MAP]
NOVEMBER 15, 2007 7:30pm $7/$5 for students
*Panel discussion to follow the film
The divisively contested relationship between divine
scripture and homosexuality is at the center of For the
Bible Tells Me So, a moving examination of how people of
faith struggle to reconcile sexual orientation with the
word of God as it's preached by organized religion. The
film's focus is on how average church-going American
families persist in belief when faced with intolerance
justified in a literal reading of the Old Testament.
Interspersed among the personal testimonies are
appearances by an array of theologians, such as Bishop
Desmond Tutu, Harvard's Peter Gomes, Orthodox Rabbi
Steve Greenberg and Reverend Jimmy Creech who
demonstrate with passion and compassion how believers
in the 21st century can live by the Book.
