Unfortunately, the response of clergy and congregations falls significantly short of what parishioners expect of their faith leaders. Each of these videos comes with a Discussion Guide that includes Background Information, Questions for Discussion and Additional Resources. There are a total of ten videos for use in a wide variety of settings. Individual videos are availale for $20 and all 10 available for $159.00.
