Millions will consider Jesus next year …The BBC plan to show peak time half hour episodes of the whole passion narrative after EastEnders throughout Holy Week in 2008.
The intention is to be as accurate as possible to the Biblical narratives and include the Resurrection and appearances on Easter day. The purpose will be to retell the great story as it has been written, so many will ask questions.
Now is the time when the church can pray for the production team headed by Nigel Stafford-Clark, and provide a positive voice for the BBC. It will also be a major evangelistic opportunity that needs some careful thought, prayer and planning. What an opportunity for millions to consider Jesus. How can we respond?
Do pass around your networks so as many people as possible know that this is on the horizon. I understand the pod cast of the session will be on http://www.churchesmediacouncil.org.uk/ sometime next week.
Love and prayers

Thanks for flagging this up Andrew! This is the sort of thing that being outside the UK right now I miss hearing about, but which are valuable for my return to the UK in just 3 weeks!
