Future of Christianity
Description
Christianity is now over 2,000 years old. Yet today in the West it faces its greatest challenge--modernity and the rapid rise of the secular society. Can Christianity survive in the West? In the final episode of the series, practicing Catholic and leading barrister Cherie Blair examines how Christianity has fared in the face of World Wars, unprecedented suffering and monumental social change. While Christianity is marginal in Western Europe, it is strong in the U.S. Blair examines U.S. megachurches and argues that U.S. Christianity broke free of the tradition, architecture and aesthetics that cut Western European Christianity off from modern society. The U.S. experience shows that Christianity can make itself part of contemporary society.
