Short filmTranscript
00:00The problems are so big right now that we felt like we needed to do something.
00:09So we brought 12 pastors together from different theological, racial, ethnic, and political
00:16persuasions to see if they could find reconciliation in the middle of these polarized times.
00:23We are being taught to hate each other.
00:25The whole plethora of issues.
00:27Gun control.
00:28Immigration.
00:29Gender.
00:30Class.
00:31Abortion.
00:32Racism.
00:34I would officiate a same-sex marriage.
00:44There are times that the spirit has to disrupt our patterns of living.
00:50Why can't we be who we are and that be okay to the next person?
00:55We try to make everybody believe and feel the same way.
00:59Seeing the responses to that was a lot more painful than I expected.
01:03I think people love and respect you more when you let them know you're human.
01:07The fact that we disagree is not insurmountable.
01:10You be who you are, I'll be who I am, and we'll find a way through together.
01:14Amen!
01:15Preach!
01:16Preach it!
01:18I was holding this thing together out of a fear of the institution failing, not for
01:27love of my children.
01:32I think being in relationship with these 11 people has changed me.
01:40What would it mean if all of the polarization, fragmentation, and conflict were actually
01:43this amazing opportunity for the gospel?
01:48It's a story about love.
01:51Can people actually love each other?
01:56Beyond tolerance.
01:58That's a holy thing.
