A few essays by Ralph Waldo Emerson (TBA), then... 2. Wal …

The group is open for lesbians of all ages, with a special …

To clarify from the start, this is not a group for those wanting to watch "Christian films," though we may do that from time to time. This group is for Christians (I'll define that term as devout followers of the New Testament) who are interested in cinema and therefore in watching and discussing/analyzing motion pictures. We'll hopefully have a few organizers who will provide some variety in choices, from intellectual films to Hollywood popcorn movies. Finally, we start this group with the hope …
