The Center West in Rapid City will offer a free screening of the recently released documentary “For the Bible Tells Me so” at The Journey Museum Theater at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, April 5.Can the love between two people ever be an abomination? Is the chasm separating homosexuals and Christianity too wide to cross? How can the Bible be used to justify hate? These are the questions at the heart of Daniel Karslake’s “For the Bible Tells Me So.”The movie was in competition at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival and “For The Bible Tells Me So” was honored with Audience Awards at the 2007 Seattle and Provincetown International Film Festivals and the Kathleen Bryan Edwards Award for Human Rights at the 2007 Full Frame Documentary film Festival.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 — viewers discover how people of faith handle, or sometimes tragically fail to handle, having a gay child.
Thanks to some local donors this film will be presented free to the Public. There will be a panel discussion following the screening with several prominent local clergy and mental health professionals. The public is invited to attend and encouraged to participate in the discussion following the screening.For more information about this screening or The Center West, call 605-348-3244 or e-mail info@thecenterwest.org.
