"For the Bible Tells Me So" in Santa Barbara
At long last I will have the opportunity to see the documentary "For the Bible Tells Me So." It is being featured at the 2007 LBGT Film Festival in Santa Barbara. As you can see, I'll be making a somewhat official appearance. Once I've seen the film, I'll give you all a report and a review.

For the Bible Tells Me So Dan Karslake's provocative, entertaining documentary brilliantly reconciles homosexuality and Biblical scripture, and in the process reveals that Church-sanctioned anti-gay bias is based almost solely upon a significant (and often malicious) misinterpretation of the Bible. 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, and Orthodox Rabbi Steve Greenberg, For the Bible Tells Me So offers healing, clarity, and understanding to anyone caught in the crosshairs of scripture and sexual identity. Winner of Audience Award at Outfest 2007, Nominee for Grand Jury Prize Sundance 2007, and winner of awards at the Seattle and Philadelphia Lesbian and Gay Film Festivals. Dir. Dan Karslake/USA 2006/97 min.Invited guests: Executive Producers Keith Lewis and Robin Voss, Rev. Steve Kindle, Rev. Mark Asman, Dr. Bob Cornwall.
This movie will be followed by a discussion with the above invited guests.
