Movie Showing: That They May Be One by Fathom Entertainment

Movie Showing: That They May Be One

May 19 & 20, only! See showtimes (click on “May 19” or “May 20”)

On the night before His crucifixion, Jesus prayed a prayer that still echoes across the Church today: “That they may all be one.” (John 17)

Featuring Francis Chan and Christian leaders from across denominations, That They May Be One is a powerful docudrama exploring how the Holy Spirit has been quietly working across generations to answer that prayer.

The film uncovers a remarkable story of God’s providence unfolding for more than a century. From the urgent prayers of St. Elena Guerra, which inspired Pope Leo XIII to consecrate the twentieth century to the Holy Spirit, to the dramatic outpouring of the Spirit in Topeka, the historic revival at Azusa Street, and the surprising awakening among Catholics at Duquesne University in 1967, a powerful thread emerges.

Through compelling testimony, historical insight, and dramatic reenactments of Pentecost and Jesus’ prayer in John 17, the film reveals the Holy Spirit’s work across denominational lines, calling the Church to renewal, awakening, and unity.

That They May Be One is more than a documentary; it’s an invitation to rediscover the Spirit who is still moving today.

Get your tickets now to see THAT THEY MAY BE ONE in theatres May 19 & 20 only!
