Healthy Dialogue Series: The 1946 Movie

November 14 @ 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm

 

healthy dialogue series 2

The Healthy Dialogue Series presents a conversation about 1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture, a feature documentary that follows the story of researchers who trace the origins of a mistranslation of the Bible in 1946. It chronicles the discovery of archives at Yale University which cast doubt on any biblical basis for LGBTQIA+ prejudice. Featuring commentary from scholars as well as opposing pastors, including the personal stories of the film’s creators, 1946 is at once challenging, enlightening, and inspiring.

Following the showing of the film, Trevor Thompson (adjunct professor in Calvin’s Department of Religion and Senior Acquisitions Editor at Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company) will guide us in a conversation with Dr. David Lincicum (Professor of Theology at Notre Dame University) and Dr. Jeffrey Weima (Professor of New Testament at Calvin Theological Seminary).

The Healthy Dialogue Series is a collaboration between the Office of the Provost and The Sexuality Series. It reflects Calvin’s commitments to engage challenging conversations with humility, love, charity, and respect, eager to learn with and from each other. It reflects our commitment to understanding better, before we seek to be understood, as well as the vulnerability necessary to listen well and engage with those who perspectives may differ from our own.
