A groundbreaking documentary examines the tragic consequences of a a missionary movement based in Kansas City.
God Loves Uganda explores the role of the American evangelical movement in Uganda, where American missionaries have been credited with both creating schools and hospitals and promoting dangerous religious bigotry.

“God loves Uganda,” hates gays - A new documentary examines the far-right's role in fomenting violent homophobia in the African nation
Here's where Kansas City comes into play:
"Filmmaker Roger Ross Williams was given remarkable access to leaders and missionaries affiliated with the International House of Prayer (IHOP) movement based in Kansas City, and he makes the most of it. Dominionist Lou Engle describes Africa as a “firepot of spiritual renewal and revival,” and be believes Uganda has a special prophetic destiny. Engle has tried to distance himself somewhat from the infamous “kill the gays” bill that is pending in Uganda’s legislature, but here he is on film, at his TheCall rally in Uganda, standing with speakers calling for passage of the bill."
Even better . . .
THANKS TO A KICK-ASS TKC TIPSTER FOR SENDING US DETAIL AND DESCRIPTION FROM A RECENT SHOWING OF THE MOVIE!!!
Perspective on negative PR for Kansas City . . .
"We saw this movie last night and it is the worst commercial for KCMO ever filmed. We were in northern CA and were afraid to even mention KC as we might have been lynched. We were both amazed that none of the KCMO media haven't mentioned it (if they have we missed it). Some brave theater in KC should show this movie."
While the cultural elite in Kansas City criticize religious influence in Kansas and parts of rural Missouri, it's important to realize that RIGHT HERE IN KANSAS CITY PROPER there are organizations under scrutiny for advocating intolerance throughout the world.
Developing . . .
Damnit. Can't find it on netflix queue.
ReplyDeleteIn a 3rd world shit hole where genocide is a common occurrence, where people are chopped to bits, where killing women and children, where rape and clitoris removal are time honored traditions, we are to blame the religious right for this shit holes problems. Sensationalism and gays go together like coffee and cream. Anything coming from Slate is suspect.

I never, ever thought I'd agree with the monkies of Uganda; however, if this is their answer to dealing with the freaks of their land, GREAT! Maybe a closer look is warranted??

Thank you.
Micah Moore? Tyler Deaton? Bethany Deaton?
ReplyDeleteStrange bedfellows for such a group of religious fanatics as IHOP?
Sounds more like a religious cult modeled after the Phelps clan, on the loose in Uganda.
Once people begin killing in the name of God, what could possibly go wrong?
Please visit Uganda wearing your rainbow-colored shit.

ReplyDeleteHeah be da troll! Heah be de troll!
ReplyDeleteNiggers in Uganda have always been violent way before the white man found them. Who do you think were some of the original slavers??? Black on black violence has always been here, there's nothing new about it!
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong with killing the gays? They are the reason for AIDS.
ReplyDeleteI'll see if I can raise a few bucks for the Ugandan mission.
ReplyDelete9:53... can you take brownback with you? he'd be right at home there.
ReplyDeleteThe Pentecostals have milked America for what they could and now they are taking their act overseas where superstition is still practiced.
