Fourth Friday Fireside Film Festival: To Kill a Mockingbird

  • Arlington Community Church 52 Arlington Avenue Kensington, CA, 94707 United States (map)

In keeping with Pastor Jen’s focus on justice and mercy this month, the Board of Faith and Spiritual Life offers the film “To Kill a Mockingbird.”

It’s a moving story about a lawyer in the rural south in the 1920’s who takes on the defense of a black man who has been falsely accused of rape. What do we need to fight injustice? Atticus Finch has it:  courage, empathy, understanding, hope—even hope in the face of failure. A parallel story tells how he passes this understanding to his children as they deal with their own prejudices and fears.

Please plan to arrive at about 1:30 to allow time to grab your popcorn and settle in before we start the film at 1:45, and, if your schedule allows, linger for a few minutes after to discuss the film.
