Brooklyn Religion Briefs for June 19
As part of LGBT Pride Month, St. Ann & the Holy Trinity Episcopal Church will host a screening of the Sundance-Award-winning documentary, Love Free or Die.
This documentary is about the Rt. Rev. V. Gene Robinson, whose 2003 election as the first openly gay bishop in the Episcopal Church (for the Diocese of New Hampshire) was cause for both celebration and controversy throughout the Anglican Communion.
“Love Free or Die” follows Gene Robinson from his 2008 civil union, to the Lambeth Conference that same year, to Barack Obama’s inauguration, to the fight for gay marriage in New Hampshire, to the 2009 Episcopal General Convention, and up to the May consecration of the second openly gay Episcopal Bishop, Mary Glasspool.
