Our local PFLAG chapter is gathering for a movie night! Sunday, March 23rd at 6:00pm at St. Paul’s Episcopan Church. We will be watching the film 1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture, enjoying pizza and popcorn and having a discussion following the film's viewing. 1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture is a feature documentary that follows the story of tireless researchers who trace the origins of the anti-gay movement among Christians to a grave mistranslation of the Bible in 1946.
It chronicles the discovery of never-before-seen archives at Yale University which unveil astonishing new revelations, and casts significant doubt on any biblical basis for LGBTQIA+ prejudice. Featuring commentary from prominent scholars as well as opposing pastors, including the personal stories of the film’s creators, 1946 is at once challenging, enlightening, and inspiring.

This event is FREE. Run time of the movie is 92 minutes and we will have a short discussion beforehand and resources available for discussion afterward. Donations toward food or our local chapter of PFLAG are welcome but certainly not required. --

My younger Days
When I was in my younger days, I weighed a few pounds less,
I needn't hold my tummy in to wear a belted dress.
But now that I am older, I've set my body free:
There's the comfort of elastic where once my waist would be.
Inventor of those high-heeled shoes my feet have not forgiven:
I have to wear a nine now, but used to wear a seven.
And how about those pantyhose, They re sized by weight, you see,
so how come when I put them on the cro tch is at my knee?
I need to wear these glasses as the print's been getting smaller:
And it wasn't very long ago I know that I was taller.
Though my hair has turned to gray And my skin no longer fits;
On the inside, I'm the same old me, It's the outside's changed a bit.
