Sinopse

Bernard, Marianne, and Peter discuss a study in which people were asked about the relevance of the Ten Commandments. Bernard interviews Prof. Ian Randall about his new book on the Bruderhof and its connection to pacifist movements during WWII in England. Then a conversation about St. Basil in which Peter suggests that his sermons on money and possessions must have left listeners red-faced. Also, Marianne remembers someone who devoted her life to improving the lot of children with disabilities by means of a ground-breaking approach.
