For the Bible Tells Me So

Featuring Bishop Gene Robinson, who was one of the first openly gay members of the Anglican Church and as a result is widely regarded as the cause of a great divide within the Christian religion.

Can the love between two people ever be an abomination? For a religion that preaches to ‘love thy neighbour’, can the Bible ever be used to justify hate? Is the chasm separating homosexuals and Christianity too wide to cross?

Daniel Karslake’s award-winning documentary, For The Bible Tells Me So, addresses the conflict of faith faced by five very Christian American families - including that of Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson - as they struggle with their child’s sexual orientation and their own religious beliefs.

With additional interviews with such respected voices as Bishop Desmond Tutu, Harvard's Peter Gomes and Orthodox Rabbi Steve Greenberg, we discover how people of faith handle, or sometimes tragically fail to handle, having a gay child.

For The Bible Tells Me So offers healing, clarity and understanding to anyone caught in the crosshairs of scripture and sexual identity.
