Sanctuary United Church of Christ and Hillside Community Church present a virtual edition of their Faith and Film series, featuring “Conclave.” The highly acclaimed 2024 film stars Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci, John Lithgow, Sergio Castellitto and Isabella Rossellini, locked in a secretive process of choosing the next pope — where every choice carries unseen consequences. An engrossing and thought-provoking spiritual and political thriller, “Conclave” will challenge you to reflect on leadership, discernment, faith, and the moral weight of power.

Watch the film on your own schedule and streaming service, then join an online discussion on its themes of secrecy, doubt, justice, grace, and the hidden forces that shape leadership. Find the Zoom link on the event web page.

Sanctuary UCC began Faith and Film in 2016 to explore the places where pop culture meets faith. Attendees watch a current film, followed by a discussion about themes of morality, faith, and humanity led by local theologians and community leaders.
