‘Unity And Diversity’ Programs Preview

Unity and Diversity, an educational television program that features leaders and representatives of various religious communities in the local area, can be viewed on Mondays at noon and Wednesdays at 5:30 pm on Charter Communications Channel 21. The purpose of this program is to inform people about the way others think, believe, and worship, the background of their faith-traditions, all in a nonthreatening manner. The theory behind this program is that ignorance is the greatest source of prejudice and that everyone needs to appreciate all of God’s children.

The program producer and host is the Reverend Leo McIlrath, coordinator of Corpus Christi, an Ecumenical Catholic Faith Community and chaplain to the Lutheran Home of Southbury.

Programs for August 15 and 17 will take a look at St James Episcopal Church in Danbury; and then August 22 and 24 will be a rebroadcast of an interview with the Reverend Terry Pfeiffer, former pastor of Newtown United Methodist Church.
