The film "1946: The Mistranslation that Shifted Culture" is a groundbreaking documentary that explores how a single translation decision in the Revised Standard Version of the Bible had far-reaching consequences on the perception of homosexuality in Christian theology and beyond. The film meticulously examines historical documents, interviews scholars and theologians, and sheds light on the cultural impact of this mistranslation, which introduced the word 'homosexual' into the Bible for the first time. Through compelling storytelling and rigorous research, the documentary challenges long-held beliefs and invites viewers to reconsider the intersection of language, faith, and social justice. It is a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of how words can shape cultural and religious narratives, making it a must-watch for anyone interested in the intersection of religion, history, and LGBTQ+ rights.This free screening will be followed by a thoughtful and engaging discussion.
