As in times past, many people today still believe that spirituality provides the deepest level of meaning to life. Profiling Augustine of Hippo, Hildegard von Bingen, Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross, Martin Luther, Waldo, and Mother Teresa, this program explains how devoted seekers of God’s truth—saints? reformers? heretics?—have altered the course of Christianity. The inspirational power of pilgrimages to holy sites such as Lourdes and Taizé is also discussed. (44 minutes)
