"True Believer" Screening with Panel Discussion event! Join us at Irvine United Congregational Church for a screening of “True Believer” on Tuesday, September 24 at 6:00pm, followed by a discussion and refreshments. Tickets are $15.
For over 40 years, the Religious Right in the US has proclaimed a patriarchal, anti-LGBTQ gospel, from cross-engraved-pulpits to bunting-laced podiums. “True Believer” explores the origins of this movement, weaving together the larger political intentions at play with Kristen Irving’s story of her own experience within a family deeply committed to their evangelical community. Kristen’s personal story will resonate with many persons who have either found their way out of the evangelical church or have become deeply uncomfortable within it. The details about how this movement was launched will be revealing for many who assume that it was simply a grassroots movement, or “a work of the Spirit.”
“TRUE BELIEVER" presents a rare insight into the generations of American foot soldiers who have been trained as a Christian army that currently threatens our fraying democracy.”
“It is not often that a true believer ... a devoted insider in a powerful religious or political group ... has the courage to leave a high-control group and tell their story. That's what we have in Kristen Irving's new film by that name: an insider account, supported by a wide array of experts and informants, who brings us along on her journey of discovery and departure from white, right-wing Evangelicalism. Her story is as relevant as tomorrow's news and the next election. True Believer is the film that could break through and be a catalyst for the change we need, when so much is at stake.” - Brian McLaren
