Remember the ancient Indian parable of the blind men and the elephant? In the story, six blind men are brought before an elephant. Their task is to figure out what it is they are dealing with. But each man’s experience of the elephant is limited to the part right in front of him. Touching the elephant’s trunk gives a completely different experience than touching the ear or leg, so they come to very different conclusions about what the elephant is.

One of the most popular PBS television series of the past few years, “Call The Midwife” is based on the memoirs of Jennifer Worth, an actual London nurse-midwife. The series tells the stories of a group of dedicated, bicycle-riding midwives in a 1950’s and ‘60’s-era London neighborhood. As the episodes unfold, you come to understand how the intimate work of helping families through the natural process of pregnancy and birth knits these health care workers into the lives of their community.
