Not That Kind of Christian!! is a feature length documentary that explores gay and lesbian Christians' struggle for acceptance in the Episcopal Church, the 'schism' their defiant activism threatens to bring to worldwide Anglicanism (particularly in Africa), and the ways in which activists such as these can profoundly shape our personal liberties at the highest institutional levels. While the film celebrates the achievements made by queer Anglicans as they transform an oppressive Christian tradition into a modern force of liberation, it never excuses the prejudices and abuses of organized religion. On the contrary, the film also offers a skeptical critique of religion, particularly in an era when the word 'faith' is often code for nationalism, homophobia, and sundry other forms of oppression.
