I have been watching this very interesting, informative and well made documentary on the bbc called "Around the world in 80 faiths". It is hosted by a Christian priest called Peter Owen Jones and is very enlightening, whilst also being respectful of all the various different beliefs of our fellow humans.

The episode on Africa, i found truly amazing and awe inspiring, and last weeks one on the middle east was equally informative and fascinating. Next weeks episode is all about North America ( i cant wait to see that one!).

If anyone is interested in watching it you can see it here:

The look on that puppy's face still haunts me. Owen Jones tried sha. I can't imagine a nigerian priest going where he went.

Have been watching too and have found very interesting. Just shows how inventive humans are with respect to dreaming up new religions and gods.

Did you see the bits about the persecuted followers of John the Baptist, some of whose followers now have sought refuge in Australia?

No, but last night I saw the one about the religion of John Frum, and the American flag on the island of Tanner.
