Frontline/WORLD "Jesus in China"
As the world spotlight hits China this summer, reporter Evan Osnos goes inside one of the country's most important, but least understood movements - China's underground churches. A joint project of Frontline/WORLD and the Chicago Tribune, "Jesus in China" examines the wave of Christianity that has been sweeping across the country in recent years, and the different ways the Chinese ruling party - officially atheist - is now racing to control it. Probing this volatile religious and political fault line, Osnos travels to the "Bethlehem of China" in Henan Province, gains access to unregistered "megachurches" in China's fastest-growing cities, and finds a number of Communist Party members and independent activists willing to come out publicly as Christians.
Also, in this hour, two more stories from a small planet, including a look at how Rwanda, in recent years, has become an unlikely haven for a new breed of social entrepreneur taking the lead in rebuilding a devastated country.
