Film show - "God's Outlaw"

To mark the 500th anniversary of William Tyndale's translation of the New Testament into English we will be showing the award winning film "God's Outlaw" in Reeth Memorial Hall at 7.30pm on Thursday 14th August.

God's Outlaw is about international politics, church intrigue, cold-blooded betrayal, and false justice ending in a criminal's death. It is the true story of how William Tyndale became one of the most wanted men in England and all of Europe. Pursued by King Henry VIII, Lord Chancellor Sir Thomas More, and the Pope's personal legate Cardinal Wolsey, Tyndale darted across Europe to avoid capture - always pushing to complete the task that obsessed him.
The task was translating the Bible (now the world’s bestseller) into English and publishing it for his fellow countrymen - Englishmen who lived in a country where the Bible was outlawed.
Today William Tyndale is renowned as "the father of the English Bible," and is recognized as one of the major leaders of the English Reformation. But the story of how he lived and died as "God's Outlaw" will keep you on the edge of your seats.
