Description

Ukraine religious life is a rich tapestry of Christians, Jews, and Muslims from many nationalities. The war has impacted all profoundly, causing dramatic shifts that are affecting the Catholic and Orthodox Churches and their ecumenical relations, as well as Hasidic Jews and Protestants. We look at their fascinating history, their survival under communism, and how they are responding to the crisis today. Join us as we unpack the interior life of a critical part of the world.
