SUMMARY:Documentary Screening  | "Leap of Faith"
DESCRIPTION:Twelve diverse Christian leaders find hope and fellowship at a series of boundary-breaking retreats in Grand Rapids\, Michigan. Brought together by Michael Gulker of The Colossian Forum\, five women and seven men struggle with some of today’s most contentious issues. The divisions between them become apparent and test both their common belief in the universal importance of love and kindness and the bonds they build over the course of a year.\n\nInspiring and provocative\, LEAP OF FAITH explores whether we can disagree and still belong to each other in a divided world.\n\nFollowing the screening\, there will be a Q&A with award-winning Director Nicholas Ma. Ma is an award-winning director\, writer and producer based in Brooklyn. He produced the documentary Won’t You Be My Neighbor? about the life of Fred Rogers\, which premiered at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival\, and most recently the WNBA documentary Unfinished Business\, which premiered at the 2022 Tribeca Film Festival\n\nJoin the Event Online\nDue to the weather challenges\, we are also making this event available via zoom. \nClick here to join the zoom meeting.
