[Grovenet] Special PFLAG Film Event on March 20th

[Cecelia Warner]

Forest Grove PFLAG (Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and  
Gays) is presenting a special screening of, "Call Me Malcolm" on  
Tuesday, March 20th at 7:00 p.m. at the Forest Grove United Church of  
Christ. PFLAG invites people of all religious beliefs to this program  
to raise awareness about sexual minorities in our churches and all  
our communities. We will serve wonderful refreshments and the event  
is free. Contact fgpflag at aol.com or call (503) 357-2442 for more  
information.

"Call Me Malcolm" is the story of a transgender man and his struggle  
with faith, love, and gender identity. Tara Wilkins, director of  
Oregon's Community of Welcoming Congregations, will lead a discussion  
following the film.


Footnote: many of you remember Todd Smidendorf who, until September  
2005, served as Associate Pastor at the Forest Grove United Church of  
Christ. Todd went to seminary with Malcolm Himschoot, the subject of  
this film. Indeed, the documentary was shot while Todd was studying  
with Malcolm to become a UCC pastor.
