For The Bible Tells Me So

 

Can the love between two people ever be an abomination?

 

Through the experiences of five very normal, very Christian, very American families, this film  offers healing, clarity and understanding to anyone caught in the crosshairs of scripture and sexual identity.

Coming Out

A 1989 film made by the East German film monopoly. The film deals with the process of the protagonist's coming out as gay. The film was shot entirely on location in East Berlin and includes scenes shot with amateurs in some of the city's gay bars and clubs. It won two awards for its treatment of the issue of homosexuality at the Berlinale in 1990. It was the only East German film to deal directly with homosexuality and was premiered on the very night that the Berlin Wall came down. Light refreshments, conversation and a free will offering received.

3rd Sunday of the month

12 noon - 2:00 pm

Kairos meets monthly for a bring- your-own-bag lunch on third Sunday of the month from noon to 2 pm in the Wesley room.  Several Kairos members will walk this fall in the city-wide AIDS Walk at the lakefront. Currently we are considering a mission statement to become a designated "reconciling" small group within the United Methodist Reconciling Ministries Network.  Co-facilitators of Kairos are Dr. Mary Lou Taylor and Richard Whitaker.  When you see any one of us wearing a rainbow sticker on our nametags, stop and talk with us.  We will answer questions and urge you to visit our monthly gatherings. We welcome everyone into this fellowship!
