The basic tenets of most major religions have remained unchanged for centuries. Society, on the other hand, functions within a culture that constantly changes. That paradox and the problems surrounding it are examined in this timely program by several noted religious experts. Central to the discussion is the increasing polarization between believers who wish to maintain ancient traditions, and those who argue that any tradition must give way to the cultural realities of the modern world.
