Film screening and discussion of "The Armor of Light" with dessert potluck at the Old Meeting House in East Montpelier. The address is 1620 Center Road.
The Armor of Light - 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 progun
is consistent with being pro-life. Along the way, Rev. Schenck meets Lucy McBath, the
mother of Jordan Davis, an unarmed teenager who was murdered in Florida and whose story
has cast a spotlight on “Stand Your Ground” laws. Also an Evangelical Christian, McBath’s
personal testimony compels Rev. Schenck to reach out to pastors around the country to discuss
the moral and ethical response to gun violence.
The Armor of Light follows these allies through their trials of conscience, heartbreak and
rejection, as they bravely attempt to make others consider America’s gun culture through a
moral lens.
