BBC Looks Into Christian Persecution

This post is just an FYI for you all to keep your eyes on, since I know we have readers all over the world. According to an article on C21Media, the BBC is looking to do a series on whether or not Christians are being persecuted.  Here's part of the article...

  BBC religion head Aaqil Ahmed has made his first major commissions since joining the broadcaster from Channel 4 last year, ordering a slate of Christian-themed documentaries to air this Easter.

In BBC1's Are Christians Being Persecuted?, presenter Nicky Campbell will investigate what it means to be a Christian in Britain today. The doc will attempt to go behind the headlines to explore a number of high-profile legal cases, and examines the changing nature of how Christianity and Christians are viewed in society. 

Meanwhile, The Day That Jesus Died will look at the meaning of Christ's death on the cross, and features a series of interviews with leading Christian figures such as Rowan Williams and John Sentamu. BBC1 will also transmit Pope Benedict XVI's traditional Easter message and blessing.
