Response from Channel 4

Dear Ms Muldoon,

Thank you for contacting Channel 4 Viewer Enquiries.

This 7-part series follows on from our series CHRISTIANITY: A History which
was screened earlier this year on Channel 4. The series will explore the
history of The Bible drawing on the thoughts and experiences of seven
different contributors from very different backgrounds. In the series, Gerry
Adams will examine the life of Jesus.

From his perspective as a leading figure in the Irish Republican movement
throughout years of sectarian conflict and the subsequent peace process, and
as a former supporter of political violence, Adams will explore the
contradiction between Jesus' teachings and the involvement of Christians,
and followers of other faiths, in conflict the world over.

As part of the programme, he will be confronted by those who oppose his
views and will meet victims of violence from both sides of the sectarian
divide in Northern Ireland.

While we understand some viewers will have reservations about Adams'
inclusion in the series, we hope they will reserve judgement for the
programme.

Nevertheless, please be assured that your comments have been noted and
logged for the information of those responsible for our programming.

Thank you again for taking the time to contact us. We appreciate all
feedback from our viewers; complimentary or otherwise.

Regards,
Channel 4 Viewer Enquiries


I understand their position but I will not be watching this documentary! Very quick response. I am sure they have had a few complaints already!
