The PC(USA) partnered with the Viewpoint project—viewpointproject.com—producer of high-quality social and educational documentaries for public television with the mission of positively impacting our communities and the world to produce and share a short video documentary. Our educational segment focuses on the denomination’s Matthew 25 commitment to creating healthy, just communities and a radically inclusive world.
In May, households across the U.S. can view the PCUSA segment via their local public broadcasting station. Your local PBS station will have the opportunity to show this documentary between broadcasts. A shorter version of the segment will also air across a myriad of cable networks like CNN and HLN.
Visit pcusa.org/viewpoint to check out the videos, learn more about the program and get some tips on how to prepare your congregation.
