"Twenty-seven more days to get involved before General Conference" Reconciling Ministries Network of Chicago, Illinois, United States "#ItsTime" for Tuesday, 12 April 2016

In just twenty-seven days, United Methodists from the across the globe will be gathering in Portland, Oregon for General Conference. As part of the "It's Time" campaign, Reconciling Ministries Network invited you to host fifty screenings of An Act of Love - a documentary featuring Rev. Frank Schaefer and his trial in The United Methodist Church.
Since the campaign launched in November, you've scheduled over seventy screenings across the country with more to come!
Thank you for helping to share this important film that illuminates the cost of love in a church that is willing to punish a father for ministering to his own son.
If you haven't had a chance to see An Act of Love, make sure to find a screening near you!
