Hickory – Lenoir-Rhyne University’s Visiting Writers Series and the Footcandle Film Society will host a film screening of For the Bible Tells Me So at the Carolina Theater in downtown Hickory, Feb. 6, at 7pm.
For the Bible Tells Me So is a 2007 American documentary about homosexuality and its perceived conflict with Christianity.
