Celebrate 250 years of Freedom of Belief for All
Event Date
Friday, June 26, 2026 - 06:00 pmWaldo County will be celebrating 250 years of Freedom of Belief on Friday, June 26, at the UU Church, 37 Miller Street in Belfast with a potluck supper at 5 p.m. and a showing of Inherit the Wind with Spencer Tracy at 6 p.m. All are invited and there is no charge.
The public is invited to take a dish to share and stay for the movie, Inherit the Wind, directed by Stanley Kramer in 1960. This is a tense, thought-provoking adaptation of the famous 1925 Scopes Monkey Trial, brilliantly pitting science against religious fundamentalism while championing the right to think critically. There will be a discussion after the film for those who wish to stay.
"Multi-faith Justice Maine embracesthis celebration of differences in events throughout Maine," the release said. "Multi-faith Justice Maine is an arm of the Maine People’s Alliance, and is a statewide movement that brings together people from across the spectrum of belief and traditions to work together to create a more just and loving world. Part of our focus is countering the white Christian nationalist movement by strengthening and celebrating the multi-faith community."
