The 1990 Reith Lectures

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

The Persistence of Faith
Six talks on religion and ethics in a secular society by Rabbi Dr Jonathan Sacks, Chief
Rabbi-elect of the United
Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth.
3: The Family

Which is precisely why ideological radicals have focused on the family. Change it and you change humanity.
