Silent Lamp on PBS this Fall

http://www.silentlamp-merton.org/

Silent Lamp, a documentary about Thomas Merton, will be airing on PBS this fall.

From the website:
"Silent Lamp, is a two-hour feature documentary on the world-renowned mystic and Trappist monk, Thomas Merton, and his views on contemplative life. The intention of the documentary is to bring attention to the spiritual resources that Merton discovered in the solitude of contemplation and to communicate the potential of these resources to act as antidotes to the violence and degradation that is so prevalent in modern societies."
