Out in the Silence Film Screening [link] - The process for All Souls to become a Welcoming Congregation will kick off on Sunday, September 12 with the showing of an award winning film at the Sioux Falls Main Library at 2:30 pm. The screening of OUT IN THE SILENCE will be followed by a Q&A session with the filmmakers and members of the local GLBT community. The discussion is aimed at engaging the audience in a conversation about inclusion, fairness, and equality for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) people.

Exploring topics ranging from religion, safe schools and economic development, to discrimination, tolerance and understanding, OUT IN THE SILENCE offers a compelling model for civic engagement and dialogue and is an ideal tool for bringing people of all ages together to begin the process of building bridges rather than walls on issues that have divided our communities for far too long. OUT IN THE SILENCE offers a fascinating and moving commentary on America's culture war.
