Summer Movie Night: “1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture”
Sunday, July 13 at 6:30 pm
Emmanuel Baptist Church, 275 State Street, Albany, NY
Free and open to the public
In partnership with the Pride Center Spirit Committee, Emmanuel Baptist invites you to a screening of “1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture.”
I RECOMMEND IT.
This 2022 documentary explores the tireless efforts of researchers who trace the origins of the anti-gay movement among Christians to a mistranslation of the Bible in 1946. The film chronicles the discovery of previously unseen archives at Yale University, which shed light on the misinterpretation of ancient Greek that led to the term “homosexuality” being introduced into the Bible for the first time. Featuring commentary from prominent scholars and opposing pastors, the documentary also includes personal stories from the film’s creators.

The day before the daughter took the plane ride home, I asked her, on WhatsApp, if she had her ticket and passport. She wrote back, “I hope so.” Of course, she did, but it wasn’t the answer I had been seeking. She arrived at the airport in Cape Town about four hours before her scheduled flight on June 17, as recommended, which was beneficial because loading began over an hour before takeoff.
