SISTER JEANNINE GRAMICK’S JOURNEY OF FAITH Saturday, October 16, 12:00pm Still feisty and faithful as ever, “rebel
nun” Sister Jeannine Gramick stands up to church authorities
in Rome on her quest to build bridges between the Church and the
gay community. In this new documentary about her life’s work,
directed and produced by award-winning journalist and filmmaker
Barbara Rick, Gramick’s central message is clear: that lesbians
and gays have a rightful place in the church just like everyone
else. She repeats her doctrine of acceptance and love whether she
is speaking to students on college campuses and in bookstores, trying
to set up a face-to-face meeting with a Cardinal in Rome, or listening
to angry anti-gay activists at a meeting of the U.S. Conference
of Catholic Bishops. This journey of faith, full of purpose and
good humor, compels viewers to examine the lengths that they would
go to for their beliefs. Harvard Exit Theatre
