On Monday, June 26, at 7:30 p.m., the Winchester Area Voice of the Faithful will show the award-winning documentary "Twist of Faith" at its regular weekly meeting at St. Eulalia's Church, 50 Ridge Street, Winchester.Admission is free, and all are welcome to attend.

From acclaimed director Kirby Dick ("Chain Camera"), this Academy Award-nominated and Sundance-selected feature documentary tells the deeply personal story of a firefighter in Toledo, Ohio who, in his mid-30s, confronts the trauma of past sexual abuse by a local priest, only to find his decision shatters his relationships with his family, community and faith. A discussion period will follow the showing of the documentary.
