Freedom: A Conflict Of Interests

With all the political fallout from the "democratization" of Eastern Europe, this fascinating documentary examines a different facet of the question: namely, free religion, where none existed before. Comprised of two parts, The Church in Turbulence and The Church in Transition, the program is hosted by Dr. Reinhold J. Kerstan, a pioneering theologian who has worked with Eastern European church leaders in expanding Christianity into the hitherto unexposed portions of Eastern Europe. Priests and pastors from Germany, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Romania, and elsewhere, express their views on the newfound religious freedom--both the widening of opportunities and the array of problems that have come in its wake. While non-Christians will find the explanation that the new politics is a direct answer from God to the long prayers of Eastern Europeans a bit oversimplified, lay Christians of all denominations will find this program to be both informative and spiritually uplifting. Highly recommended. (Available from most distributors.)
