...Infant baptism is under fire. The most recent attack on this traditional Christian practice comes from West Germany, where 350 Evangelical (Lutheran) churchmen have petitioned the Rhineland synod to abandon the rubric requiring infant baptism and let parents decide when their children should undergo the ceremony. To give the demand more weight, 50 pastors in Germany have publicly indicated that they will not baptize their own children...

It has escaped greatness, except in cost and length. The film took $100 million and five years to make. After extensive cutting it is now six hours and twelve minutes long. In the Soviet Union it was released in four different segments; in the U.S., audiences must see it at two separate showings...
