DESCRIPTION:Gun Politics and Religion Converge in Film “The Armor of 
 Light”\n\nFREMONT CA – The film “The Armor of Light” asks the 
 question, “Can you be pro-life and pro-gun?” It will be shown June 10 
 at 1:30 p.m. as part of the free Second Saturday Documentary Series at 
 Niles Discovery Church, 36600 Niles Blvd., at the corner of Nursery Ave. 
 \n\nDirector Abigail E. Disney follows the Rev. Rob Schenk, an Evangelical 
 minister and anti-abortion political activist, as he struggles with his 
 conscience and his conservative beliefs in the wake of fatal shootings in 
 his own Washington, D.C., neighborhood.\n\nPolitics and religion converge 
 when Rev. Schenck meets Lucy McBath, the mother of Jordan Davis, an unarmed 
 teenager who was murdered in Florida. 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 with explosive results. \n\nToni Shellen, coordinator of the 
 Tri-City Chapter of the Brady Campaign, will moderate discussion following 
 the film.\n\n“This film is a departure from our typical offerings,” 
 explained the Rev. Jeffrey Spencer, Senior Pastor at Niles Discovery 
 Church. “We tend to show films that address a social issue and discuss 
 it. This time, we’re looking at a spiritual question as it relates to a 
 social issue.”\n\n“Niles Discovery Church identifies as a 
 ‘Progressive Christian’ congregation, rather than ‘Evangelical,’” 
 Spencer said. “Nonetheless, I think we can learn from the struggles two 
 particular Evangelicals have had to live an integrated faith. After all, 
 don’t we all want to live a life of authenticity, regardless of our 
 religious traditions?”\n\nThe Second Saturday Documentary Series is 
 co-sponsored by Niles Discovery Church and the San Jose Peace & Justice 
 Center. \n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2017/05/18/18799512.php
