BUILDING ON FAITH

Special Broadcast On Hurricane Katrina Recovery
BUILDING ON FAITH, an interfaith religion special about the
ongoing role of religion in bringing post-Katrina Mississippi
back to life, will be broadcast Sunday, June 17 on the CBS
Television Network.

Please Note: CBS gives stations a 21-day window to play the
program. Check your local station for exact time.

This program reminds the audience that the Gulf Coast,
especially Mississippi where the storm made a direct hit,
has barely begun to recover. One estimate is that fully nine
out of ten homes rebuilt or restored in the state's poorer
communities would have been abandoned but for such help and
the volunteer labor provided by religious congregations
around the country. The broadcast concentrates on Roman
Catholic, Presbyterian and Methodist disaster relief
organizations, but other volunteers also have participated
in the almost two years since the storm hit on Aug. 29,
2005. The danger now is that volunteers will stop coming in
the belief that the problems of restoring Mississippi have
been solved.
