New Soundtrack—Batman Beyond, vol. 2
September 13, 2024
This award-winning documentary follows Rev. Frank Schaefer, a Pennsylvania pastor who was put on trial in the United Methodist Church for officiating his son’s same-sex wedding. The Schaefer family was pulled into a movement for LGBTQ equality in the nation’s second largest protestant denomination. An Act of Love tracks Rev. Schaefer’s journey from small-town minister to outspoken advocate, and digs deep into the growing divide in the United Methodist Church.
