Movie Night! Thursday, 2/11
On Thursday evening, February 11, we met at 7:00p to view the award-winning video, “In God We Trust?”, by Scott Burdick. It is an account of what happened after a returning Afghanistan veteran sued his home town of King, North Carolina, for the removal of a Christian flag from the public Veteran’s Memorial. The video presents a wide-ranging overview of church/state issues, but it was too long for us to view in its entirety (one can find it on YouTube). We saw selected portions of it that focus on the issues that most directly the legal and social aspects of the suit, and we had a good discussion afterward.
By all accounts, it was a very successful evening, with 33 people in attendance
