Film Screening: 1946 - The Mistranslation that Shifted Culture
2025-03-14 19:00 - 21:00 | Sanctuary
The Affirm team invites you to an upcoming film screening on PIE Day––March 14, 2025, at 7:00 pm––in the Sanctuary. Pie will be served!
Please join us to view the highly acclaimed documentary film, “1946: The Mistranslation that Shifted Culture.” The film 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, casting significant doubt on any biblical basis for LGBTQIA+ prejudice.
Immediately following the screening, the film’s researchers, Kathy Baldock and Ed Oxford, will join us via Zoom for a Q & A session. Kathy Baldock is an author, LGBTQ advocate, international speaker and educator, and a leading expert on LGBTQ issues in the United States, especially dealing with historical and current discrimination faced from the socially conservative Christian church and political sector. Ed Oxford is a gay Christian, a graduate of Talbot School of Theology, and a researcher in how the Bible has been weaponized against LGBTQ people.
Don’t miss this exceptional opportunity to see an important film that helps unpack the relationship between culture, bias, and belief.
The event is free, but please register so that our amazing Hospitality Team knows how much pie to prepare!
View the trailer. See you at the movies! 🍿🎥

During this weekly drop-in guided experience, our focus is on breath-centred meditation, inviting our bodies to relax while remaining alert. We also incorporate body scanning and usually finish with gratitude meditation.

Gatherings take place most Wednesday evenings at 7:00 pm in the Chapel.
