Rob’s Eastern Europe update reminded me I’ve been meaning to give an New York update. SoulforceNY had its first meeting of the season and they’re cooking up some great stuff.

New York will host not one, but two, events as part of the Seven Straight Nights for Equal Rights campaign:

• A service at B’nai Jeshurun synagogue in Manhattan on October 9
• Events near Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno’s office in Saratoga Springs on October 13

For more information on either event, visit Seven Straight Nights.
SoulforceNY has been working with the Catholic bishops in the area to develop and host workshops and conference to minister to LGBT individuals. This will help priests meet their parishioners where they are, understand their specific needs and concerns, and shed much needed insight into the lives of LGBT faithful.

For the Bible Tells Me So will be premiering October 1 and will hit theaters shortly thereafter. I’ve been invited to the premiere and will hopefully have lots to share. The film has already garnered lots of support in the festival circuit and I’m excited to see how audiences here will receive it.

Here is the very captivating trailer:

And on a more personal note, my friends keep migrating to New York and I am loving it. I can’t wait to see what collaboration with them will bring.
