Uganda: Ready to Forgive
Presented by National Council of Churches USA, produced by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America
This is an African story of God''s amazing grace. Through 20 years of war, the Acholi people of Northern Uganda endured rape, torture and child abduction. Thousands died. Many were displaced in squalid camps. Others are still missing. Despite all of this, the Acholi are united in a belief that the only real solution is reconciliation and forgiveness. They are ready to forgive. Join host Immaculée Ilibagiza, Rwandan genocide survivor and best-selling author, as an African story of grace unfolds. Learn more at www.elca.org/readytoforgive

Presented by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops
"Creativity: Touching the Divine" brings together artists and non-artists who have experienced the joyful tandem of spirituality and creativity. Viewers are inspired to rethink the possibility for creativity in their own lives, regardless of their circumstances or abilities. "Being creative means to develop the skill to listen, to silence the ego, and to let creativity come from the soul rather than the self," comments Thomas Moore, author of the best-selling Care of the Soul. Joining him are glass harpist Jamey Turner, who seeks the extraordinary in the ordinary; and the late Madeleine L''Engle, who penned the young adult classic, A Wrinkle in Time; and Urban Family Institute founder Kent Amos of Washington, D.C., who lives the African axiom, "It takes a whole village to raise a child."

Presented by the National Council of Churches USA; produced by the United Church of Christ
Take a virtual trip around the world and experience the sights, sounds, challenges and faith-filled hope that emerge everyday. Connecting Threads gives an overview of how threads of sharing and service connect when members of US churches (in this case the United Church of Christ and the Christian Church, Disciples of Christ) work together with global partners. Words and music tell their stories of faith in five regions: Africa, Europe and the Middle East, Southern Asia, East Asia and the Pacific, and Latin America and the Caribbean. Mission personnel and global partners from around the world discuss the role the church plays in health and wellness, leadership development, economic support, education, and issues related to access to natural resources.
