Question:

Today I saw a special on a major network about world war II. It was a documentary and well done. At the end I was surprised to see that it was done by the SBC Mission organizaiton.

I did not see the first part so may have missed something, but was wondering what the purpose/thought behind producing it was.

 

I just noticed the word mission and Southern Baptist Convention. I took it that it was the international arm of the convention but could well be incorrect.

 

Contacted the television station and the title of the program was "Horizons of the Spirit, and the title of the film was Overlord, a mighty host"

http://www.interfaithbroadcasting.com/hofs.aspx has some info on the program.

SBC is showing a film on a Catholic program where World council of churches programs are also run. Hummm.

http://www.interfaithbroadcasting.com/program.aspx?PID=236 is further info.

I guess the thing that got me was that I did not know it was a religious based program until the credits ran and I saw it was SBC produced. I was just wondering if there was something in the beginning of the program, which I missed, identified it as such.

Was just interested in why the mission arm would spend the money to produce something like this.

I searched both the international and North American site, but found nothing, not to say there isn't something there.
