Tuesday, the 24th, at 9pm on PBS (at least in the DFW market) there will be a PBS Frontline one hour program called Jesus in China. I can’t endorse it because I haven’t seen it, but at least we should be able to get one view of what is going on in China. I discovered it in a news feed. Here are three links to a series done by the co-sponsor of the program, The Chicago Tribune. Let’s see . . . Public TV & Chicago Tribune . . . . yea, not too sure how accurate a picture will be drawn but I’m gonna try to record it on my Slingbox and give it a look.
Here are the links to the printed series (I’ll read them when I get a chance)

Let me know what you think!
I’ve read and watched all the links….. you3 yi4 si (interesting). Looking forward to learning more.
Very interesting articles. We enjoyed reading them!
The documentary is really lousy and one-sided. Osnos was clearly taken in by his sources, and didn’t try to give an alternative opinion. very poor. You can find a devastating rebuttal here:
