A Time for Burning: In the mid-1960s, 1200 White people attend Augustana Lutheran Church in Omaha, Nebraska. Nearby, Negro Lutherans worship at Hope Lutheran Church. Reverend Bill Youngdahl, Augustanas pastor, proposes that ten couples visit ten Negro families from Hope. Its a controversial idea; within weeks, Youngdahl resigns. The camera observes: Augustana parishioners discuss the idea, the social ministry committee meets with Hope leaders, and Hope youth talk about race and religion. Ernie Chambers, a Negro barber, predicts Youngdahls failure, and Chambers implacable questions help lead Ray Christensen, an Augustana social ministry member, to a conversion. youtube/watch?v=usfyokHHu7U
