Shown in All Souls' nave with an original score by Christopher Putnam, All Souls' Associate for Liturgy and Music, this will be a unique, powerful experience.

This is the last of Reel Theology, a series by the Adult Formation Ministry Team. designed to stimulate theological reflection and insights. All are invited! Gather (if possible bring some light snacks to share) to watch the movie, and have a brief discussion afterward.
