Worth Seeing

The award-winning film, For the Bible Tells Me So will be shown at Franklin and Marshall College’s Rochelle Center for the Performing Arts on Thursday, February 7 at 7 PM. The public is invited to attend this free showing, sponsored by Saint James Episcopal Church, Lancaster Theological Seminary and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans-gendered and their Allies at Franklin and Marshall College. Seating is limited.

The documentary film synopsis on the producer’s website states:

“Can the love between two people ever be an abomination? Is the chasm separating gays and lesbians and Christianity too wide to cross? Is the Bible an excuse to hate?

Through 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 -- we discover how insightful people of faith handle the realization of having a gay child. Informed by such respected voices as Bishop Desmond Tutu, Harvard's Peter Gomes, Orthodox Rabbi Steve Greenberg and Reverend Jimmy Creech, For the Bible Tells Me So offers healing, clarity and understanding to anyone caught in the crosshairs of scripture and sexual identity.”
