Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew on CNN

(If someone has already posted this I apologize. I did a search and didn’t find anything here yet.)

CNN will air special report August 28-31 on the plight of the Ecumenical Patriarchate. Dates and times

A detailed analysis with background notes and a slide presentation, titled “The Last Orthodox Patriarch in Turkey?” may be found on CNN’s web site at cnn.com/2010/WORLD/europe/08/26/wus.patriarch/index.html.

We need to let CNN know how much we value this important coverage.

60 Minutes aired and excellent interview in Turkey December 2009 program with His All-Holiness which is archived on the patriarchate website. The website includes video of Bob Simon’s Notebook visit to Cappedocia.

Prayers for His All-Holiness as he so courageously speaks up about the critical situation of the Orthodox in Turkey, and consequently for the entire Greek Orthodox Patriarchate. Thanks be to God for major venues like CNN and 60 Minutes bringing this story to a national audience.

Just a note, this appears to be on CNN International, and not CNN. I was just looking through the listings for this and can’t find the program at the proper times (converted for my timezone). Hopefully they’ll put this on their website.

I noticed the same thing when I tried to find the program on my TV a couple of hours ago.
I’m suspecting that the program could be Video: Bartholomew visits Imbros clip on the web site lower left margin. Googling “World’s Untold Stories CNN” as it’s called on the OCA site I got this.
