Fred Rogers may have been best known for his children’s show, Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, but he was also known for his deep Christian faith—which motivated all his work. He was an ordained Presbyterian minister. In an interview with Charlie Rose, Rogers said, “Jesus said to the people around him, ‘Please let the little children come up here. I want to learn from them.’ He might not have said those words, but I think that’s what he meant. I want to be involved with these innocent people who make up the kingdom of Heaven.” A new documentary, Won’t You Be My Neighbor?, honors Rogers’ life and work. Watch the trailer here.
