"Belief"

  
     While discussing her documentary series "Belief," Oprah Winfrey stated, "We're all yearning for the same thing, but we have different ways and different approaches to doing that."
     All around the world, many people have a yearning to satisfy similar needs: define personal identity and purpose; find meaning in life; be a part of something bigger; feel whole and strong; receive and give unconditional love and compassion; make sense of and handle sorrow, hardship, adversity, tragedy, pain, and grief; receive and give forgiveness, wash away sins, let go of the past, and make things right; increase self-discipline and be good; make a fresh start and move forward with hope; obtain answers to questions about the mysteries of the universe; feel calm, peace, and joy.
     We all have different ways to satisfy these yearnings.  This documentary series shows a multitude of religions that believe in a spiritual power who creates, provides, protects, and helps with physical and emotional needs plus gives answers to the big questions. People around the world use meditation, prayer, scriptural study, traditional ceremonies, and group activities as part of their belief.
     Your religion may be portrayed in this series, or you may have a different religious or non-religious approach to life.  You may have your answers or you may still be in the process of  defining your belief.
