World Religions 101 on an acid trip/ BBC 2: Around the World in 80 Faiths Documentary

Around the World in 80 Faiths
Quote:
is a British television series which was first broadcast by the BBC on 2 January 2009.

Anglican vicar Peter Owen-Jones has been given a year’s sabbatical to travel the world with a BBC crew to explore different faiths around the world at the beginning of the 21st century.




This is a pretty cool show, in my opinion.

There are so many interesting ways of practicing faith and the host explores the globe to come in contact and talk with the people who practice them. While he DOES recognize his own bias he still takes a "Christianity is right" stance from time to time. However, I must mention, he's WAY more opened minded that not, he doesn't ask disrespectful or loaded questions, but just can't help it that sometimes his WASP sticks out a bit from time to time.

In all fairness to the guy though, the travel alone is intense and he still manages to meet his goal and sure has his share in heady moments of realization.

Over all, this is like a religion 101 class on an acid trip as it goes FAR FAR beyond the basic 6-10 faiths spectrum that is obviously not very inclusive, but so often presented to us.

For your enjoyment and to creating peace through understanding.



The full documentary is available here (although the Middle East section is missing) , set up in playlist format from the host: topdocumentaryfilms. com: around the world in 80 faiths

However, if you have a particular interest here is Part 1 of every show in the series (except India, which is a complete show), and you can click the text link that will take you to a show description from the Wikipedia page

Right now, they just seem like a bunch of pies.
