Sunday, April 9, 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm, The Park

THE PARK TO HOST SCREENING OF LGBT CHURCH DOCUMENTARY, CO-SPONSORED BY UNION THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY

All are welcomed to attend a public screening of the acclaimed BET.com documentary, HOLLER IF YOU HEAR ME: BLACK AND GAY IN THE CHURCH.  This one-hour film chronicles the lives of queer black men and women who express their journey with faith and sexuality. Produced by Clay Cane, HOLLER IF YOU HEAR ME offers a wonderful point of departure for our post-doc panel discussion focused on the role and function of masculinity in predominately black sacred spaces.  Joining us for the discussion will be Indiana University Professor Rev. Dr. Alisha Lola Jones, Dr. Tony McNeill, Artist-in-Residence at The Park, and Minister Charles Anthony Bryant, Minister of Music, First Corinthian Baptist Church of NYC.  Dr. McNeill and Min. Bryant are profiled in the documentary.

Plan to join us!  Light refreshments will be served in the Sanctuary of Park Avenue Christian Church. This event is free and open to the public.
