Faith and Film, Friday at 7:00

A reminder that "Sergeant York," the May selection in our "Faith and Film" series, will be shown on Friday evening at 7:00.  This film, based on the true story of World War I hero Alvin York, is a great reflection on the moral quandary between Christian teachings about peace and obligations that may lead to war.

The 1941 movie stars Gary Cooper, in an Oscar-winning performance (one of two wins among nine nominations).  Directed by Howard Hawks, you can read more about the film here (WARNING: Don't read the plot synopsis if you don't want to know what happens in the film until you see it).  And you can read more about the real-life Alvin York here, on a site sponsored by the Sgt. York Patriotic Foundation.
