I'm not really sure where to put this, but I just saw the most amazing program on PBS...

It was a PBS Frontline program that originally ran earlier this year, but was rebroadcast tonight. It's called <a href="http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/faith/" target="_blank">"Faith and Doubt at Ground Zero"</a> and dealt with just what the title says: how people affected by the terrorist attacks in New York have dealt with the issues of faith it raised.

What I found very impressive was that the show didn't offer a lot of commentary, but rather let the individuals speak for themselves. No answers, but a lot of thought-provoking stories and viewpoints.

It was also very interesting to hear impressions of both the religious and non-religious. Although stories and viewpoints of the religious were perhaps more prevalent, most of those interviewed faced truly difficult crises of faith and spoke about them honestly. Others seemed willing to accept just about anything as long as they didn't have to lose that faith.

All in all, well done, very moving, quite interesting and thought-provoking television. If you get a chance to see a rebroadcast, I highly recommend it!
