Your Invited to See the Documentary "Theologians Under Hitler."

My son and I attended the first segment of this on April 6th which was the introductory presentation by Steve Martin, producer and director of this documentary that was made for PBS. Info on Mr. Martin can be seen here. My son and I found that this was not and is not an attempt to proselytize in anyway but is a truly academic look at three great theologians- whose work still stands today- who supported Hitler during the Nazi era. More info on the concept of the documentary can be found here. Stan Duncan of the Civil Liberties Alliance would like to invite all to attend this screening and the below message is forwarded from him.

It's essential we begin a serious examination of the role religion
played in the rise of the Third Reich and the subsequent social,
political, economic and corporate factors that pushes ordinary people to
insanity.
