At a Time Like This: The Welfare: 2: The Men of God

on BBC One London

The Church has always been in the Welfare business. Before the Welfare State the big religious organisations were virtually the only providers for those in need: soup and prayers; second-hand clothing and Christianity. Now the Men of God are having to adapt to changing conditions. The poor and the needy are no longer as much in evidence as they used to be. But the Church of England, the Salvation Army, and many other religious foundations are still as active as ever in social service. What do they find to do? Who are the people unable to gain help from the Welfare State who still need to turn to 'The Men of God'?
