Lamp Unto My Feet is an American ecumenical religious program that was produced by CBS Television and broadcast from 1948 to 1979 on Sunday mornings.[1]
Overview
The program used a combination of drama, music, and dance to explore the histories, cultures and theological philosophies of the Protestant, Catholic and Jewish faiths.[2][3]
In 1979 this program and another long-running CBS religious series, Look Up and Live, were combined to form a new show called For Our Times (April 28, 1979 to 1988), sponsored by the National Council of Churches, New York Board of Rabbis, and U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.[4][5]
Guest Stars
Notable guest stars included Mahalia Jackson, Kim Hunter, Luther Adler, Edward Mulhare, Arthur Hill, and Aline MacMahon.
