"THE OTHER HOLY LAND" To Be Rebroadcast on Hallmark Channel June 7, 2009

NEW YORK ? "The Other Holy Land" will be rebroadcast on the Hallmark  Channel,
Sunday, June 7, 2009 from 7 - 8 am EDT and PDT; and 6 am CDT. The hour long
beautifully filmed program features four places in Asia Minor:  Constantinople,
Cappadocia, Ephesus and Smyrna ? where it becomes strikingly clear that  the
history of Christianity in "The Other Holy Land" is also the history of the Greek Orthodox Church.

The documentary was filmed in Turkey and the United States and includes interviews
with Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, Archbishop Demetrios of America and
other noted theologians and historians. The use of dramatized voices brings  to
life primary texts from the early Fathers and Church writers; early texts  are
juxtaposed with visuals of todayâ??s religious services including a  Divine
Liturgy celebrated by His All Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew in Cappadocia.

Participants, in addition to Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, Archbishop Demetrios
and include: Bishop Kallistos Ware, Rev. Dr. Robert G. Stephanopoulos;
Rev. Dr. Demetrios Constantelos; Rev. Dr. Forrest Church; Dr. Helen Evans;
Dr. Robert Ousterhout; and narrator Robert Aubry Davis.

Produced by Frank Frost Productions in cooperation with the Greek Orthodox
Archdiocese Office of News and Information and Greek Orthodox Telecommunications,

the program was funded by the Leadership 100 Endowment Fund, The Aegean  Free
Trade Zone and Faith & Values Media.

DVD copies of this program are available for purchase at $20 each, plus $6 shipping.
