Premise[edit]

"Peace and Brotherhood", the first episode, concerned such topics as civil rights, nuclear warfare and the church in Quebec. The second episode's theme was a "new Protestant reformation" with guests Paul Tillich and John A. T. Robinson. Personal Christian beliefs was the theme of episode three. The final programme speculated on the church's future, particularly in the suburban area of Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom.[1]
