"So what happened to my church was what happened to many churches..."

Bad is the name of a program Joe Frank produced as part of the series Work In Progress. It was originally broadcast in 1989. It is nearly identical to Building A Church

Synopsis

A minister is imprisoned, escapes using every imaginable transportation. Sounds of construction. The history of church building, windows, clock bells and time-keeping on ships by counting slowly, the history of tools, screws v/s nails. A son tells his Jewish father he's converting to Christianity. Notre Dame was built based on Hugo's description in NDDP. The cathedral of Chartres was originally a tiny church. A cathedral was built by slaves collapsed 600 years later and plunges the land into chaos. A woman talks about her mother pretending to sell her to gypsies. "This spirit cannot fail you" preacher. Mutilating oneself in church. Becoming the leader of a sect, an orgy in a tent, instructions for making offerings. The nature of love. A man takes advantage of everyone, kills people, experiences a conversion. Sounds of church building. The recycling of churches as secular buildings and consumer goods. Larry complains about the show, suggests Joe take a vacation.

Interesting Facts

Seems to be identical to Building A Church, except for a brief passage taken from Jewish Blues in which a son tells his Jewish father he's converting to Christianity.

Music

  • "Body Of Light" - Bill Nelson (from Chance Encounters In The Garden Of Lights, 1987)
  • "Kiss Me When I Get Back" - Tom Tom Club (from Boom Boom Chi Boom Boom, 1988)
