| The Gospel of Eureka |
The town of Eureka Springs, Arkansas, is home to an odd assortment of folk. Eureka Springs boasts the largest statue of Christ in North America and a major Passion Play, but also drag bars and a non-discrimination ordinance affirmed by voters by a more than 2-to-1 margin. We meet some of the evangelicals and some of the drag queens and various other townsfolk for a lesson about the history of Eureka Springs and its present-day reality, narrated by Mx Justin Vivian Bond.
The interviews provide a fascinating glimpse into an all-too-unusual peaceful coexistence of evangelical Christians and LGBTQ activists. It’s worth seeing, Highly recommended.
