US TV report on Christians in Holy Land attracts huge audience

Apr 29th, 2012

A well-respected American television programme: '60 Minutes' on CBS, attracted massive viewing figures when it broadcast a short documentary on Christians in the Holy Land last Sunday, exploding the 'myth' that Christians leave because of Muslims. The Israeli Ambassador to the US Michael Oren, also protested to CBS about the show, before it was screened.

Endorsing the 14-minute video-documentary, Pat Gaffney, General Secretary of Pax Christi, said the film: "is crucial in that it makes assumptions that you might wish to take on in your own ministry or work.

"As the Arab Spring crisscrosses into different seasons and temperaments, it is important to discern what is truth and what is - at best - conjecture."

Since the film was screened, CBS has been bombarded with complaints. But thousands of viewers who were impressed with the programme's brave and truthful reporting have also sent messages of thanks. If you would like to add your voice, click here: http://thankyou60minutes.org/
