From 1962 to 1963 the BBC aired a satirical show about the news, “That Was the Week That Was,” that later crossed the pond to NBC in 1964. David Frost, and others, would pick apart the week's current events, highlighting the ridiculous. The week that just ended would have been perfect for their show.

Just catch the news — radio, television, newspaper or Internet. You get a consistently gloomy outlook. Switch to Christian media and it is just as bad, maybe worse. The church's perspective hasn't always been so pessimistic. In the late 1800s into the early 20th century there was a popular teaching that the world would get better and better until Jesus returns. All that effectively ended with World War I. Or did it?With special guest J.D.

Back in the 60s there were a lot of kid shows on TV. The hosts typically played friendly policemen, sea captains and firemen, and introduced cartoons or 10-minute Three Stooges movies. But one of these hosts stood out above the rest. "Esquire" magazine's front page story called Fred Rogers a national hero.

The Kendrick brothers, who saw their previous film — 'War Room' — become a number one box office hit, are hoping to see it happen again.

Emanuel Connects Us with Tragedy and TriumphSome historical events are etched in our minds by date, or at least by the dates when we traditionally remember them — December 25th for Christmas, July 4th for Independence Day, but how about June 17th? That's when nine members of Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, one of the oldest black congregations in South Carolina and possibly in the United States, were fatally shot by a white gunman. The movie, ‘Emanuel’, helps us to remember. It also helps us to understand in a way that wasn't possible in the chaos of the tragedy in 2015.Music credit: lavelman, http://www.freesfx.co.ukPhoto and Audio clip: Fair Use
