Have always wondered whether the missions really do as much good as they make out - presumably education in poorer countries is a good thing but I don't like the fact that it is closely tied to religious indoctrination.

I always think of the film "The Mission" which tells such a terrible story.
New Sunday night period drama, just started.

BBC One - Call the Midwife, Episode 1

Based on a real midewife's books.

The nuns there are nice, on the whole, and did a good job for those in need.
