Description:
"This is a portrayal of two African countries, Kenya and Zambia, and their commitment to Christianity. In Kenya, we focus on the Masai tribe and how they are gradually modifying their traditions in response to their Christian faith. In Zambia, we interview Dr. Kenneth Kaunda, son of a Presbyterian pastor and president of the republic. President Kaunda talks about the situation in South Africa, the concerns of the independent African nations, and the movement towards imposing economic sanctions. He warns that unless the conflict in South Africa is resolved hundreds of thousands of people will die."

Description:
"For 16 months, the Rev. Benjamin Weir was in captivity as a hostage in Lebanon; and in a sense his family also was held hostage. In their own words, family members tell of their private ordeal and the great release they themselves experienced when husband and father Ben was unexpectedly set free. The program features excerpts from Ben Weir's September 24, 1985 homecoming press conference at the National Presbyterian Church in Washington, D.C., plus exclusive interviews with Ben Weir, Carol Weir, and other Weir family members."
