Conclave: A Conversation about Certainty
Crossing party lines – Braver Angels Long Island Alliance present a FREE film-discussion program inspired by the film Conclave on October 2, at 7 p.m. We’ll view a few scenes together and open a dialogue on how the story speaks to our polarized times. We’ll be joined by a couple of special guests to deepen the conversation, one of whom is Vicki Toale; Catholic Sister and Former Professor of Theology & Religious Studies at Molloy University. Conclave follows the election of a new pope amid secrecy, politics, and moral complexity. At its heart, it is the journey of a leader who wrestles with faith, doubt, identity, and duty. The story challenges assumptions from across the spectrum, offering both moments of comfort and moments of discomfort. Please watch the full movie ahead of time (available on Amazon Prime) so you’ll be ready to dive in. See more details and RSVP with Unitarian Universalist Fellowship Bay Shore, 28 Brentwood Road, Bay Shore, New York 11706.
