CHRISTIANITY AT A CROSSROADS
CHRISTIANITY at a CROSSROADS is a 4-part (4-hour) television series designed for broadcast on PBS and wide use in congregations, schools and seminaries. Through stories filmed on location across the country and insightful commentary from a range of accomplished speakers, it will explore the changing face of Christianity in American life today.
From the beginning of the new nation, Christianity has been America’s majority religion. It remains so today despite widely reported decline in church attendance that has persisted for more than a generation. Only recently has the decline begun to level off, leading researchers to ask if a reversal is underway or is it merely a break in an otherwise long-term downward trend.
The series will hear from those conducting the research – The Pew Research Center, Gallup, Public Religion Research Institute, etc, as well as those on the ground who are living the experience. Pastors from both large and small congregations, church leaders, congregants, journalists who cover religion, theologians who speak for the progressives, conservatives and hard center, historians, sociologists and writers will help bring this dramatic, complex and emotional story to life.
The series will bring viewers into historic churches now facing the painful reality of closure, as well as thriving mega-churches that seem to defy prevailing cultural shifts. And it will introduce the viewer to congregations that fall somewhere in between.

We know people are lonely. They're depressed, they're addicted. They feel isolated, they feel anxious. And one reason is they don't feel a sense of community. And religion is an ideal place to generate community. It's a way to sit next to people who maybe vote different than you, or earn a different income than you do, or work in a different field than you are.

“Christianity goes in a million different directions on any given issue. You name the issue. I'll show you Christians on either side of it. So whose Christianity governs the nation?”
Rev. Howard-John Wesley
