Dr. Robin Meyers Oklahoma Reverend Dr. Robin Meyers has spent three decades building a liberal Christian congregation smack in the middle of a conservative fundamentalist stronghold. Today, and with increasing urgency, Robin’s call to action goes beyond speaking truth to power to demand nothing short of a social justice revolution. His mantra, “the church is dead, long live the church” is at the core of this film. He believes that the church should be the center of a resistance movement that “upends the empire” and challenges conservative Christian orthodoxies that use the Bible to justify nationalism, and threaten civil liberty laws protecting African Americans, women, immigrants and the LGBTQ community. In 2013 Robin delivered the Lyman Beecher Lectures at the Yale Divinity School based of two of his recent books, Why the Christian Right is Wrong; and Spiritual Defiance: Building a Beloved Community of Resistance. He is a syndicated columnist, an award-winning commentator for National Public Radio, author of seven books on Progressive Christianity and the Senior Minister of the Mayflower Congregational United Church of Christ in Oklahoma City since 1985. He is presently working on his next book titled Falling Off the Ceiling: The Death of Michelangelo’s God and the Rebirth of Wonder. Robin has also appeared on Dateline NBC, the PBS NewsHour, and ABC World News, and in the HBO documentary “The Execution of Wanda Jean” (2002). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d059d1b70d017000181d3c2/1561341200611-MLP0PICWTEEYP76W76MY/AmHer_Carlton_1-1024x576.jpg Welcome - Rev. Bishop Carlton Pearson In 2004, at the height of his popularity as a Pentecostal preacher and founder of the 5,000 strong Higher Dimensions Global Ministry associated with Oral Roberts in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Bishop Carlton Pearson was declared a heretic when he publicly questioned the existence of Hell. Retribution was swift and final. He lost his church, the majority of his flock and his entire way of life. In 2018, his story premiered on the big screen in the movie Come Sunday starring Chiwetel Ejiofor as Carlton and Martin Sheen as Oral Roberts. In American Heretics, the documentary, we pick up where the feature film left off. In the words of Carlton, this is his “Come Monday” story about his journey into the New Thought community. He has appeared on television programs such as NBC and MSNBC’s Dateline, ABC's Nightline, 20/20, Good Morning America, CBS Evening News with Dan Rather, BET Tonight with Tavis Smiley, The Edge with Paula Zahn, Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher, The Monique Show on BET, to name a few. Most recently, he has authored The Gospel of Inclusion, and God Is Not A Christian, Nor A Jew, Muslim, Hindu…God Dwells With Us, In Us, Around Us, As Us. He is presently working on his next book titled You're Not In Trouble, You're In Transition: Making, Managing and Mastering Change. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d059d1b70d017000181d3c2/1561341204959-IAF9QHMOI7H8VHC9Q2NS/AmHer_Lori_1-1024x576.jpg Welcome - Reverend Lori Walke Reverend Lori Walke was born and raised in a small town in Oklahoma. She is from a long line of Southern Baptists and still today, family life revolves around the church. She put herself through school by winning the Miss Oklahoma pageant title, and went on to play college basketball at Oklahoma State. Her teammates introduced her to the LGBTQ community, really for the first time. It was during those years that Lori struggled to understand why her religion excluded those friends that she so dearly loved. And thus, Lori began her journey of questioning the orthodoxy, but not her faith. After law school, she earned her Masters of Divinity from Phillips Theological Seminary and was ordained in the United Church of Christ in 2012. Lori’s been firing up the pulpit and the political arena alongside husband, State Representative Collin Walke, with her unique brand of progressive call to action ever since. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d059d1b70d017000181d3c2/1561341204708-R0DM71GLUUR364QZ62OB/AmHer_Marlin_1-1024x576.jpg Welcome - Rev. Dr. Marlin Lavanhar A graduate of Harvard Divinity school, Marlin found his way to All Souls Unitarian Church, a predominately white congregation located in a wealthy Tulsa suburb, at the age of 32. A few years later, in 2008, Marlin made a bold move by inviting the outcast Bishop Carlton Pearson and his remaining Pentecostal flock to join All Souls. According to his staff, Marlin was accused at the time of “doing too much racial stuff’. In doing so, Marlin and Carlton accomplished something extraordinary … a truly integrated congregation that includes liberal Christians, progressive Humanists and conservative Pentecostals. Martin Luther King famously said that “Sunday morning is the most segregated hour of Christian America.” Not at All Souls. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d059d1b70d017000181d3c2/1561341204668-UNP2LUWOXN8KTWGDR16Y/AmHer_Brandon_1-1024x576.jpg Welcome - Dr. Bernard Brandon Scott Acclaimed author, Dr. Bernard Brandon Scott is a leading New Testament expert and one of the foremost Pauline scholars in the world. For thirty years, Brandon taught at Phillips Theological Seminary in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He counts Lori as among his “most impressive and tenacious former students’. As for Lori, Brandon introduced her to the earth shattering notion that ”it’s okay to question the Bible.” In American Heretics, Brandon takes us into the early Christian world where 1st - 4th Century authors navigate politically and culturally treacherous landscapes. Their writings ultimately end up forming the Bible, which centuries later, continues to touch on some of today's most polarizing issues. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d059d1b70d017000181d3c2/1561341203973-RXMKNE0IPHHX5PJA7NBU/AmHer_Collin_1-1024x576.jpg Welcome - State Representative Collin R. Walke State Representative for House District 87 in Oklahoma City, Collin is serving his second term as a Democrat. Born and raised in Oklahoma, he’s no stranger to navigating political battle lines drawn around a conservative religious agenda. Outnumbered and often outvoted, Collin fights daily for his underrepresented constituents. Collin and Lori met in law school, married shortly after and are now affectionately known as “The Rev and The Rep”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d059d1b70d017000181d3c2/1561341204272-0PYYGTULSQ29VCU5H4HI/AmHer_Nehemiah-_1.jpg Welcome - Nehemiah D.
