For the Bible Tells Me So
There will be a showing of the powerful documentary “For the Bible Tells Me So” as part of Unitarian Church North’s celebration of LGBTQ+ pride. The film will be shown at UCN at 6:30 pm on Friday, June 23 in the Sanctuary.
According to www.imdb.com [imdb.com], the film is “An exploration of the intersection between religion and homosexuality in the U.S. and how the religious right has used its interpretation of the Bible to stigmatize the gay community.” It will be followed by a panel discussion led by Rev. Tony Larsen (Unitarian Universalist Minister for over 48 years) and Julie Konik (Unitarian Universalist Seminarian). Refreshments will be provided. Admission is free, and donations for the HRC (www.hrc.org) will be accepted. Please register with this Eventbrite Link. Thanks!
