SUMMARY:Movie Screening "1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture"
DESCRIPTION:A Pride Month Screening & Community Dialogue\nStorySpark Collective and Called to Love are honored to host a transformative evening of film and restorative conversation. Join us for a special screening of the award-winning documentary\, “1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture.” \nAbout the Film:\n1946 follows the journey of tireless researchers who traced the origins of the anti-gay movement back to a specific mistranslation in the 1946 Revised Standard Version of the Bible. Chronicling the discovery of never-before-seen archives\, the film challenges deeply held assumptions and opens a new door for understanding and inclusion. \nThe Experience:\nAt StorySpark\, we believe in the power of stories to heal and create positive social change. Following the screening\, we will transition into a curated community space featuring: \n\nPanel Discussion: Hear from local Christian and LGBTQ+ leaders as they discuss the film’s impact on our local community.\nA Moment of Reconciliation: A public apology from members of the Christian community to the LGBTQ+ community\, marking a significant step toward healing historical divides.\nOpen Dialogue: An opportunity for attendees to engage in a respectful Q&A focused on building empathy and moving forward together.\n\nWhether you are a member of the LGBTQ+ community\, a person of faith\, or a neighbor looking to learn\, we welcome you to this evening of discovery and bridge-building. Together\, we can spark a future where every voice is heard and every person is valued. \nGetting Here & Parking\n\nPublic Transit: The Commons are conveniently located right on the Green Vine.\nParking: You can find parking on-street or in the Columbia Bank parking lot (3301 E 4th Plain Blvd\, Vancouver\, WA 98661).\nAccessibility: Designated accessible parking is available directly on-site.
