Prejudice Among Christians

Original Airdate: October 15, 2007

Host: Scott Dente

Christian comedian Nazareth gives Faith Cafe viewers some laughs with his trademark clean comedy before sobering up to discuss the very serious topic of prejudice among Christians. Based on his experiences as a Palestinian immigrant, Nazareth discuses stereotypes in the church and what it is like to be a Christian of Middle Eastern descent after 9/11. This is one eye-opening interview you won't want to miss!

Nazareth's Comedy Crusade has reached millions on television broadcasts as varied as Comedy Central, The 700 Club, and the NBC Nightly News. He's toured with the Temptations and the Righteous Brothers with his act that appeals to all ages. But behind Nazareth 's smashing success as one of America 's foremost “clean” comics is the saga of a scared, Palestinian kid. Raised in a strict but decidedly un-devout Christian home, as a young adult he found himself alone in America , where his heritage and identity clashed with the almost-anything-goes society. Today his comedy opens even the toughest audiences to hear the Good News that transformed his life. He weaves his faith into his act, often leading prayers to receive Christ. The 300-member Christian Comedy Association voted him its president.
