A Case for Love


Save the Date: January 23, 2024  


Creating Positive Change 

Virginia Theological Seminary is proud to be a supporting partner of A Case for Love.  


With society more divided than ever, issues such as a loss of a sense of community, mental health problems, fear, prejudice, and hatred are growing. This documentary presents the viewer with the information necessary to determine if living life more selflessly can cause positive change in themselves, those around them, and ultimately society at large. 

 

Inspired by the teachings and writings of Bishop Michael Curry, this documentary follows a film team as it travels across the US, interviewing everyday people from various walks of life and ethnicities, who are striving to live their lives selflessly. Their stories are interwoven with hundreds of person-on-the-street interviews, with well-known figures including Pete Buttigieg, Al Roker, Sam Waterston, John Meacham, Jim Clyburn and others also weighing in on the subject. At the end, Bishop Michael Curry places what we’ve seen into context.  


The film will be shown in more than 1,000 movie theaters around the country for one night only on January 23.
