November 18, 2018: the 40th anniversary of the Jonestown massacre. On that dark day in 1978, nine hundred and nine Americans died of cyanide poison in a jungle village named after the pastor who deceived and then murdered them. Understanding how and why they were deceived could save your life or the life of someone you love. Mel White, ordained minister, seminary professor, and professional filmmaker, relocated to Berkeley for six months following the Jonestown Massacre to interview survivors and families of the victims to try to understand how this tragedy happened. With some changes and updated understandings, White's book has been republished in 2018 with the clear lesson: What We Must Not Forget.

Winner of the ACLU'S National Civil Liberties Award, the Rev. Dr. Mel White has served the Christian community for thirty years as a pastor, professor, author, filmmaker, and ghost writer to some of the nation's most powerful religious figures. After a thirty year struggle to "overcome his homosexuality" through various "therapies" from exorcism to electric shock, Dr. White finally accepted his sexual orientation as "a gift from God." In writing his best-selling autobiography, Stranger at the Gate: to be Gay and Christian in America, Dr. White came out of his closet to bring hope and healing to his GLBTQ sisters and brothers and to begin his own justice ministry on their behalf. With Gary Nixon, his partner (husband) since 1984, he co-founded Soulforce, a network of volunteers across the U.S. using the tools of nonviolence to help end religion-based oppression.
