Recently The B.C. Catholic attended the premier of Salt and Light TV's documentary Across the Divide. After the movie, a  panel consisting of Archbishop J. Michael Miller, CSB; Father Thomas Rosica, CSB, CEO of Salt and Light Television; Brother Jack Curran, vice-president of development at Bethlehem University; and Carl Hetu, national director of the Catholic Near East Welfare Association, discussed the contentious issues facing the Holy Land:

Each member of the panel gave their respective opinions on Christian interests in the Middle East. 

Father Rosica called the Holy Land the Mother Church. "We have a great responsibility as Catholics to support it, since it's small; it's a holy remnant, it's suffering. And Bethlehem U. is a branch of peace." One of the ways Salt and Light has reached out is through documentaries "to feature the living stones" of the Holy Land.
