Out in the Silence Screening and Panel Discussion February 19, 2010

Out in the Silence - a Documentary Film showing, followed by panel discussion. Out in the Silence follows a controversy in a small Pennsylvania town. It has been chosen for its respect for the viewpoints on all sides of the issues, with emphasis on finding common ground. The panel discussion will include subjects from the film. "Following the story of a small American town confronting a firestorm of controversy ignited by a same-sex wedding announcement in the local newspaper, this gripping documentary illustrates the challenges of being an outsider in a conservative rural community and the change that is possible when courageous people break the silence and search for common ground. Out in the Silence will challenge you to rethink your values and help close the gaps that divide our communities." Contact: Rev. Steve Aschmann. Phone: (814) 440-0902. Venue Phone: (716) 326-2154.
