There's a documentary that I've been very eager to see. It's called Constantine's Sword, based on the book by James Carroll by the same name. There will be much to discuss after seeing this. It's screening in New York City a week from tomorrow. If you're in the Los Angeles area, you have a chance to see it from April 25-May 1 at the Laemmle Music Hall 3 in Beverly Hills. Leave a comment below if you want to go. I will definitely be seeing this film sometime during that week. Find more screenings here.
From the website:
CONSTANTINE’S SWORD, by Oscar-nominated documentarian Oren Jacoby, is an astonishing exploration of the dark side of Christianity, following acclaimed author and former priest James Carroll on a journey of remembrance and reckoning. [More]
Why are intolerance, violence and war so deeply ingrained in religion?
Why did the Cross become a rallying symbol for persecution?
How does one man who loves the Church confront its history of crusade and conquest?

The Daily Kos review of the film.
I read the review on Dailykos and I watched the trailer. This sounds extremely interesting. Let me know you go, I might be in the area that week.

I'd also be interested in seeing this. Earlier in the week is better, though my schedule that week is going to up in the air (a friend from Maryland is out visiting, he might be interested in it too).
