LOS ANGELES, CA (ANS) -- First-time screenwriters with a compelling religious message will have a chance to break into the big time and get their scripts noticed by top Hollywood executives in the First Bi-Annual John Templeton Foundation Kairos Prize for Spiritually Uplifting Screenplays, as announced today by the Templeton Foundation and the Christian Film & Television Commission™.

Kairos is an ancient Greek word meaning the "right or opportune moment". And for many up-and-coming script writers, this will be the “right” and “opportune” moment to make a difference in Hollywood with their new and fresh story-telling skills.

NBC to Air Christian Show

An upcoming TV series featuring Christian pop singer Amy Grant will make its debut next Friday, and NBC is pulling out all the stops to promote it.

In "Three Wishes," Amy Grant will visit a different town every week, where, in a gesture of Christian charity, she will seek to fulfill the wishes of needy families and community groups, according to the New York Times.

The show, which Amy Grant describes as "faith in action," is being heavily promoted by NBC, which, the Times reports, has sent more than 7,000 DVDs of the show's first episode to ministers and other clergy members, along with a recorded message to their congregants from Amy Grant.
