Film & Faith: 1946 Documentary re-Screening and Discussion
This August, the Mission Collaborative invites you to La Mirada Methodist Church for a special screening of 1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture—a powerful documentary by Rocky Roggio exploring how the 1946 Revised Standard Version of the Bible first introduced the word “homosexual” into English scripture. Many scholars and faith leaders now argue that this mistranslation has fueled decades of misunderstanding, harm, and exclusion toward LGBTQ+ individuals in Christian communities.
Whether you’re seeing it for the first time or joining us for a second viewing, this is a chance to watch together, share a potluck meal (as any good Methodist gathering would), and engage in thoughtful, grace-filled conversation afterward. We’ll reflect on how translation choices have shaped theology and identity, and how faith communities can respond with compassion, integrity, and a deeper commitment to inclusion.
All are welcome—come with your questions, your curiosity, and your appetite for both food and meaningful dialogue.
