"Touched by an Angel" in Peril

All of us have a chance to strike a blow for good television this weekend. The long-running series "Touched By an Angel" is in danger of being cancelled by CBS. Yes, I know, some of you don't think it is doctrinally pure and it isn't. But it is entertainment that speaks favorably of God and often scripture is included as dialogue.

The point is that in an ocean of profanity and sex, "Touched by an Angel" is an island of beauty.

CBS is broadcasting two new episodes, back to back, Saturday night at 8 and 9 p.m. Eastern time and another new one Sunday night at 8 p.m. The Sunday night one features Angela Lansbury.

Please spread the word to your friends and write or call CBS to ask them to keep the show.
