Weird Church is a fully inclusive, fully affirming space where all people are welcome to belong as they are. We believe that everyone is welcome in the family and all people are beloved by God. We also stand with members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community that have been targeted and harmed by the Christian Church based on bad theology and a false translation.
Please note that this film may bring up many difficult experiences and emotions and there will time for discussion and support following the screening. Rev. Ingrid will be on hand to answer further questions.
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.
