Maine congregations to show global warming film

The film “An Inconvenient Truth,” narrated by former Vice President Al Gore, will be shown in some 50 Maine churches, beginning Sunday.

The HBO documentary “Too Hot Not to Handle,” and a short film, “Lighten Up!” also are being made available to congregations. The short film is sponsored by San Francisco-based Interfaith Power and Light.
