Movie Screening: “Fish Out of Water” on June 23rd at

ben — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 15:00:52 +0000

Come join us at 7pm Wednesday night for a FREE screening of the critically acclaimed movie “Fish Out of Water”, a documentary that explores the impassioned relationship between homosexuality and the Bible. The film follows the journey of director Ky Dickens who came out to her sorority sisters at Vanderbilt University and was “clobbered” with passages from the Bible and rejected by her closest friends. In order to try and understand her friends Ky went on a nationwide journey to ask some of the nations greatest scholars and religious leaders about the 7 passages from the Bible that are traditionally used to condemn homosexuality. What she finds is that it’s all about interpretation. For more information check out the movie’s website: www.fishoutofwaterfilm.com

Come and join us for this important screening event. Popcorn will be provided!
