What you had to say . . .
I like supporting Cherry Hill Seminary because I think it is important to have an academic source for pagan study -- Natalie in southern California
The Agora Movie Night was inaugural Pagan Movie Night event at the DC Pagan community center--and it was a huge success. We were honored to be able to host this event for the benefit of CHS -- Maria in DC
Many of our folks drew connections between what is happening in the movie and in our country today. Some discussed the importance of education, access to information and discussion of diverse religious views in a safe environment. I am very glad to have been able to help in a small way and had a great time hosting the party -- Dana in Washington state
The movie was deeply moving and offered an opportunity to talk about humans, our relationships and access to knowledge. It was a meaningful way to share our work at Cherry Hill Seminary -- Ellen in Austin, TX
Thanks again for this great opportunity to share Hypatia with people! I would love to do something like this again in the future -- Bridget in Delaware
I liked the opportunity to discuss a thought-provoking movie with friends. I also like being able to discuss my work with CHS with my friends. The discussion seemed to be the favorite part of the party -- Keri in Maine
An important movie marking an important time in history, in honor of an important organization, Cherry Hill Seminary! -- David in DC
This is a great excuse to pull together a dispersed Pagan community for reconnecting and exploring the depiction and history of Alexandria and Hypatia -- Alex in Michigan
It was good to have a low-key evening to watch the movie and discuss our ideas about it, as well as how we felt about Christian and non-Christian interactions in our modern day -- Selena in Tucson
