The National Council sM Churches recently surveyed tele vision »t»ttaa» from roast to roast b> find out bow much free tutu they were providing tor religious programs. The average staufia wgs devoting le»» than I per rent of its total broadcast lime to such programs. Moreover, religious programs are usually scheduled at off-hours when they are least likely t« command a large audience A large proportion are broadcast on Sunday morning — when one hall <»t America is at church and th< Other half I* Sleeping late or read ing the papers. If religious television programs were extraordinarily good, they might be able to overcome these handicaps 'and TV stations might be willing to give them more and better time..’ *.

Foorlv Produced. Promoted . . But' the Mid fact la that churches, by and large. have not made very good use of the little bit ot TV time available to them "With few exceptions.” says Paul U Molloy. TV columnist of the Chicago Sun-Times, "religious programs are poorly produced, poorly promoted and poorly presented" Not many churchmen would argue with that verdict. The vast majority of religious broadcasts — perhaps 90 per cent of the total — are straight "devotional" programs. The TV camera is simply focused on an actual church service, or on a preacher delivering an inspirational talk in a TV studio. That kind of program may appeal to pious shut-ins who are unable to attend church. There is no evidence that it has much atI traction for the "unchurched I masses" that TV was supposed to ireach. In trying to get away from the i devotional format, churches have ; experimented with dramatic shows and panel programs. Some of these have been very good The National Council of Catholic Men won critical praise last fall with a three-part dramatization of the Mass. Frontiers of Faith” on NBC and "Look Up and Live" on CBS. both sponsored by the National Council of Churches, have frequently offered superb pro- * grams. - — Dall Show Remains Dull But it takes time, talent, imagination and money to produce a good dramaic program. Churches have not always been able or willI ing to invest these resources in their programs. And they have learned that a dull show remains ■ a dull show, even when it has an underlying religious theme. It may be that churches are going to unnecessary trouble in attempting to dress up religious programs with dramatic or topical interest.

THE CHRISTIAN religism did not burst Into tha world as a brand new eet of Ideas. Christiana were not then and right Christians are not now just the asms propio with new Ideas. A man does not become a Christian by believing something on Sunday that ba

hadn't believed on Saturday It la true, a Christian dose believe what he didn't believe before, or maybe had never even thought about. But the point is. Christianity doesn't atop with thinking. It goes

Dr. Foreman

on to doing, becoming. Something happens to the people who believe. TM b««f Mils In the book of Acts we have glimpses of the changes that come into life that God has touched The writer of Acts was not a philosopher or a theologian, he was a doctor, he was interested in symptoms. In his story of Paul's first visit to the little city of Philippi, he gives us the symptoms of being a Christian. First there was thia woman, Lydia. Women had more freedom in the Greek world than In the Jewish world. This lady was a business woman, an independent merchant, presumably successful for she owned a house large enough to hold a number of house guests. Tou might have thought Lydia did not need to be converted, She attended prayer meeting, she was a worshiper of God. But she wasn’t already a Christian, though she was on the way. This good woman we read, "opened her heart” to what Paul was saying. We know that Paul would be telling the story of Jesus. This God in whom Lydia already believed, this God she already worshiped, had actually come to earth, lived, suffered, died, risen again, in the person and the life of Jesus. Paul would certainly be saying that Christ died for us ... We don’t know for certain what Paul said, but we do know this good praying woman opened her heart. Just as simple as that. Now she was not a wicked person . . . The change God wrought in her was not bad-to-good, it was good-to-better. Sanity

Then we have the strange little story of the poor slave girl who told fortunes. Today they would send her to a psychiatric hospital. In the language of that day, when Paul spoke to her the evil spirit came out of her. Now this girl was not bad, she was weak. She was no better than a trained seal, a thing to make dishonest money with. She was not running away from God or hating him, she very likely hated the sort of life she. had to live. What we know about her is that the change which came over her took her out of the class of halfhuman things and made her a true person. She was no longer controlled by her masters, no longer by an uncanny spirit. She was a human being in her Own right. The change Christ made in her was not wicked-to-good, but weak-to-strong, mental sickness to mental health, sub-human to human. Convuriiun «f a Brale

Finally we have the story of the Jailer in that same city. Here was a genuine bad-to-good change. You would probably have said there was Just no use hoping for anything good to come into his life. He was a man brutalized by his occupation, a man who made his living by being cruel to helpless people. Paul himself had (so far as we read) made no effort to convert him. But from the moment Paul said to him, “Believe—”, something amazing happened in that man. It Is a mistake to expect that when you have faith, something is going to happen to you. It may, or it may not. What is certain, if you are really converted, is that something is going to happen in you. We do not read that Lydia began to make money faster than ever. We do know the poor slave-girl was out of a job—and so was the jailer, perhaps. What was important, what they all experienced, was the power of God. In one person that power took a woman farther along the road she was traveling; in another that power took a girl out of degradation to dignity; in another, it changed cruelty to mercy. But always the same God!
