The Armor of Light: Faith and the Debate Over Guns in America

Philanthropy New York and Media Impact Funders

About

We invite you to join Media Impact Funders and Philanthropy New York for a special screening and discussion of the powerful film The Armor of Lightand a conversation about our fractured political culture and the possibility of having people come together across deep party lines to find common ground.

In a gripping portrait of courage, director Abigail E. Disney follows the journey of an Evangelical minister trying to find the moral strength to preach about the growing toll of gun violence in America. The Armor of Light tracks Reverend Rob Schenck, anti-abortion activist and fixture on the political far right, who breaks with orthodoxy by questioning whether being pro-gun is consistent with being pro-life.  Reverend Schenck is shocked and perplexed by the reactions of his long-time friends and colleagues who warn him away from this complex, politically explosive issue.
