LOCK HAVEN, Pa. - On Wednesday, March 16 at 5:30 p.m.in Lock Haven University’s Greenberg Auditorium, the Department of Philosophy and the Ethics Center will co-sponsor a screening of the 1991 Hollywood film “The Rapture.” This is the third in a series of films on moral issues offered this year by the Ethics Center.
In the movie, former Tom Cruise spouse Mimi Rogers plays a bored telephone operator who swaps a sinful life of drugs, sex and swinging for a devout religious one (after marrying a born-again David Duchovny), with surprising results.
This is the only film that has ever dared to ask the question: If you believe that God is not perfect, should you turn in your ticket to heaven and reject His salvation?
A discussion of the film will follow, led by Professor Dan Shaw, chair of the Philosophy Department at LHU. Professor Shaw was recently awarded a contract from Continuum Press for his textbook "Morality and the Movies: Learning Ethics through Film."

Admission is free and the public is invited to attend.
