- THIS obedience. Jamie Lee and Dawn Mikkelson, dirs. 2003. DVD.
Review: This film is an emotional journey through one of the most contentious justice issues of our time. In an act of "ecclesiastical disobedience," a Lutheran congregation in Minnesota ordains the Rev. Anita C. Hill, a lesbian pastor in a committed relationship, who refuses the requirement of celibacy for gay clergy. Over the following months Hill and her congregation find themselves at the center of the public debate over homosexuality and the church. As the ELCA (Evangelical Lutheran Church in America) prepares the decision, hopes and dreams hang in the balance.
