Movie Night: "A Case for Love"
2025-06-21 18:30 - 21:30 | Zion Lutheran Church, 74 1st Street, Pittsfield, MA, 01201, United States
Cathedral of the Beloved will host a Movie Night at Zion Lutheran Church of Pittsfield on Saturday, June 21 starting at 6:30 pm.
The movie will be Bishop Michael Curry’s powerful film, A Case for Love, with dessert and conversation.
From the producers: “Our society is more divided than ever. Many have moved into tribal corners, seeing the world from an “us versus them” point of view. The teachings and writings of Bishop Michael Curry, most well-known for his passionate sermon about “The Power of Love” at the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, inspired A CASE FOR LOVE. This feature-length documentary examines the question of whether or not love, specifically—unselfish—love, is the solution to the extreme societal and political divide facing the world.”
A donation is suggested. Proceeds to benefit Cathedral of the Beloved.
