To conclude the "Profiles of Rural Religion" series, the series consultants, sociologists Don Crider and Joe Faulkner, come to the TV studio for some analysis and some dialogue with the subjects of the six documentaries. But the dialogue develops most strongly between the subjects themselves, as questions of diversity and religious choice become prominent. And the program provides a final, frontal encounter between Suzie Andresen and Glenn Stover (see "Separate Realities"). Their quite different religious views, untempered and forcefully put, illustrate the range and intensity of religious expression in Rural America. Produced by P J O’Connell for Penn State Public Broadcasting. Rural lAmerica Documentary series.
