FREE FILM: Gay and Lesbian Humanist Association presents 'For the Bible tells me so' January 9, 2009

The UK premiere of Daniel Kerslake’s film, introduced by Terry Sanderson, president of the National Secular Society. There will be time for discussion afterwards.

“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 Episcopal 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.”
