Screening of 'For the Bible Tells Me So' by NW PA NOW November 18, 2009

NWPA NOW Announces Showing of For The Bible Tells Me SO

The Northwestern Pennsylvania Chapter of the National Organization for Women will present the film For The Bible Tells Me So on Wednesday, November 18 at 7:00 PM in the Multipurpose room of the Frank G. Pogue Student Center on the Edinboro University of Pennsylvania campus.

This award winning documentary focuses on five Christian families and how each handles the knowledge that one of their members is gay or lesbian. Their stories are juxtaposed with reflections from major biblical scholars as the film explores the intersection of religion and homosexuality in America today.

Following the screening there will be a discussion with audience members and a panel that includes Dr. Jerra Jenrette, chair of EUP’s History and Anthropology Department, The Reverend Randolph Edwards, pastor of the United Methodist Church of Edinboro; and Dr. Richard McCarty, Associate Professor of Religious Studies at Mercyhurst College.

Refreshments will be served.

This event is being co-sponsored by The NWPA Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, and Iota Iota Iota, the Women’s Studies Honor Society at EUP.
