On March 31st, please join Spring Glen Church at Best Video for a screening of the documentary, 1946: THE MISTRANSLATION THAT SHIFTED A CULTURE. The screening starts at 7pm and is free to the public. There will be a discussion following the film.

1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture is a 2022 documentary film about the translation of two Koine Greek words in the New Testament—arsenokoitai and malakoi—during the creation of the Revised Standard Version of the Christian Bible in 1946, and how it has contributed to anti-LGBT rhetoric.

Spring Glen Church today considers itself a community of friends and strangers who can and do ask the hard questions about our faith, the Bible, God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and what all those mean for living in the 21st century. We are a loving Christian community that prayerfully engages contemporary issues within the context of scripture and history. We strive to be Christ-centered without being dogmatic; we invite questioning, uncertainty, and open explorations of faith. Open-hearted wanderers, we endeavor to share our wholehearted and vulnerable places as we struggle to be followers of Jesus.

At Spring Glen Church today, one finds an intentionality to worship and unabashed, unapologetic enthusiasm for worship. Spring Glen Church is not only a community that prays, worships, and studies together, but also a community committed to acting its faith out in the world. Spring Glen Church today is considered a vibrant community center offering space for both church and community needs throughout the year, and it has a strong regional presence as a supporter of organizations that attack societal ills and structural disparities. Spring Glen Church is an open and affirming church committed to affirming those carrying the wounds of intimidation, harassment, neglect, violence, estrangement, and the psychic damage caused by the widest forms of bigotry. We are a church that understands charity (benevolences) is only a first step towards greater equity, inclusion and social justice.
