PRAY AWAY SCREENING & DISCUSSION
April 16, 2023 at 3:00pm
On Sunday, April 16 at 3:00pm New Church will be one of the sponsors of a screening of the documentary “Pray Away.” In the movie, Ex-leaders and a survivor of the so-called "conversion therapy" movement speak out about its harm to the LGBTQ+ community and its devastating persistence.
You can watch the trailer here.
The event will be held at Life in Deep Ellum Church, and will begin with a reception during which New Church will have a table to share information about our church. The movie will be screened and then there will be a panel discussion with some survivors who have experienced “conversion therapy”, therapists, political leaders and faith leaders.
This can be a life-saving event for LGBTQ+ people and people who have participated in the “conversion therapy” events. Watch for more information about the screening and how you can help our church be a loving presence at the event.
The screening event is free, but you are asked to register and reserve a space.
