Church Going

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

In his poem Church Going, Philip Larkin ponders on the future of the church and church buildings in an increasingly secular age. As Dr Rowan Williams prepares to take over as Archbishop of Canterbury, Jeremy Vine assesses the state of the Church of England, its strengths, divisions and future. In the first of two programmes, he looks at what it means to be the established church and asks whether its ties to the State are strangling it before our eyes? Producer Amanda Hancox Repeated on Sunday at 5pm Faith in the Nation: page 135
