PBS Finds Faith: A new PBS documentary, "God and the Inner City," shows how faith-based programs really can make a difference. (Erin Montgomery, 06/20/2003, Weekly Standard)

NO MATTER WHAT your religion or where you live, invite the PBS documentary "God and the Inner City" into your living room on Sunday night, June 22.

"God and the Inner City" tells the story of three faith-based social service groups: Boston's Ella J. Baker House, which works to prevent street violence and provides counseling and job training under the direction of charismatic Pentecostal minister Eugene Rivers; a Maryland branch of Teen Challenge, whose nationwide programs help substance abusers go drug-free and embrace Christianity in the process; and Philadelphia's Amachi program, a mentor program based in local churches but run by Big Brothers/Big Sisters, a national secular organization that takes children of incarcerated parents under its wing.

How can they find time to broadcast it in the midst of their seeming 24/7 Suze Orman marathon? Posted by Orrin Judd at June 20, 2003 7:37 PM
