"Seventh-Gay AdventistsÂ isn't just a helpful movie, important for the way it can help congregations of any denomination deal graciously and truthfully with the issue of homosexuality. It's also a beautifully-filmed and artfully-conceived movie. It does what the best art does - it 'humanizes the other.' You should see it, and when you do, you'll encourage others to see it as well."

-- Brian D. McLaren

It's like, "OK, here's a clean slate, and I've got all these paints, and all these brushes, and this is what I'm going to do with it."
