Official Press Release

Anti-Gay Church Punk'd by Lesbian Ministers

In a provocative new documentary film premiering at the 23rd Annual Austin Gay & Lesbian International Film Festival, two lesbian ministers (Ceil and Han) masquerade as husband and wife (CL and Cammy Morrison) to infiltrate a dogmatic, Austin-based, Evangelical Mega-church.

Penetrating the "inner circle" of the church leadership, their experiment would expose a scheme that's sure to rock the foundation of fundamentalist religion. The ultimate irony comes when the lesbian couple successfully dupe the homophobic pastor as he swindles his faithful followers to build a multi-million dollar empire.

Faith of the Abomination... A frightening journey with no scripts, no retakes, no safety net.

Faith of the Abomination World Premiere

Thank you, Tucson and The Loft Cinema, for making the World Premiere of Faith of the Abomination a HUGE success!

We want to acknowledge our panelists and moderator for their participation in the post-film discussion. Your contributions were priceless!

(From left to right of photo: Rev. Dr. William H. Knight: Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches, Rev. Dr. Lucas J. Mix: University of Arizona Episcopal Campus Ministry, Rabbi Miri Fleming: Community Rabbi, Michael Adee: National Executive Director of More Light Presbyterian Churches, Han Nguyen: Filmmaker, Ceil Melton: Filmmaker, and Meridith Little: Moderator)

In all fairness, we had also invited pastors of anti-gay churches in the Tucson area to participate in the post-film panel discussion. The invitations to Pastor Zane Anderson of Victory Worship Center, Pastor David McAllister of The Cool Church, and Pastor Greg Lavine of New Life Bible Fellowship were ignored, and the empty chairs are a representation of their absence.

Finally, to Wingspan, Water of Life MCC, our fans, and the many individuals who helped us pull it all together: THANK YOU!

In a provocative new documentary film premiering at The Loft Cinema on February 16, 2010, two lesbian ministers (Ceil and Han) masquerade as husband and wife (CL and Cammy Morrison) to infiltrate a dogmatic, Evangelical Mega-church deep in the heart of Texas.

Penetrating the "inner circle" of the church leadership, their experiment would expose a scheme that's sure to rock the foundation of fundamentalist religion.

The ultimate irony comes when the lesbian couple successfully dupe the homophobic pastor as he swindles his faithful followers to build a multi-million dollar empire.
