KINGDOM DIVIDED

VT0344
This is tape 2 of 3 in "Moyers: God and Politics" series. From Iran to Lynchburg, Virginia, there are news events that cannot be understood without knowing the religious forces behind them. Bill Moyers examines two different visions of Christianity and the complex questions they raise both in the United States and Central America over faith and politics. Includes conversations with several United Methodists - Joe Eldridge, an official Methodist missionary, who at the time was assigned to Honduras, and George Baldwin, a former Methodist minister, now a free agent after renouncing his ordination, living among the poor in northern Nicaragua. This is an insightful program about the faith issues that are finding a pulpit and battleground in Central America.
