Download Burmese Refugees Who Saved a US Church

In 2008, the All Saints Episcopal church in Smyrna, a small town in a rural part of Tennessee in the United States, was on its last legs. Most of the parishioners had left, and the building was falling apart. But then a group of Karen refugees fleeing the civil war in Myanmar arrived in the community - and the church's fortunes were transformed.
