...progressive Christians are busy planning events:
"For the Bible Tells Me So": Film Showing on Wednesday January 30 at 7 PM
Dan Karslake's provocative, entertaining documentary, "For the Bible Tells Me So", brilliantly reconciles homosexuality and Biblical scripture. Portland First Congregational UCC is able to show this film through arrangements with Progressive Christians Uniting. A free will offering will be taken to benefit PCU and there will be a time for discussion following the film. The film shares 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 -- and tells how insightful people of faith handle the realization of having a gay child.
