New Spirits

An intimate look at sexual orientation and gender identity in one American church

80 min · ★ 1.0

Few issues in the United States spark such emotion and passion as sexual orientation and gender identity do. They challenge the political, religious, and social paradigms of many - leaving few emotionally uninvolved in this polarizing issue. New Spirits is a look at one church community that lives amidst the tension - affirming both the Christian and LGBTQ identities of its members. New Spirits allows the people to speak for themselves and provides a seat to witness their stories in a uniquely personal manner. Included are key voices from Dr. Tony Campolo, Dr. Marilyn McCord Adams, Former U.S. Representative Jim Kolbe and others.
