“A Case for Love” film screening on Jan. 23

“A Case for Love” is a heartfelt yet personally challenging movie inspired by the teachings and writings of Bishop Michael Curry. This documentary examines whether or not love – specifically unselfish love – is the solution to the divisions facing the U.S. The film team travels across the country interviewing everyday people striving to live their lives selflessly. Ultimately, Bishop Michael Curry puts what we see into context. Viewers are challenged to make their own verdict. Come watch and decide for yourself.
