Edward Stourton presents a special edition of Sunday to mark the 10th anniversary of 9/11.

Religious and ethical news of the week. Edward Stourton broadcasts live from New York City to mark the 10th anniversary of 9/11.

Edward meets Genelle Guzman who was the final survivor rescued from the north tower to hear about her spiritual journey since the harrowing events of 11th September 2001 

He will also head out to the commuter suburb of Rockaways to meet Father Martin Geraghty, Priest at St Francis de la Salle Church. to find out how his community was rebuilt, after it lost many of its number in the World Trade Centre attacks and a plane crash two weeks later in which more than 260 people were killed.

The anniversary has been marred by the decision by New Yorks mayor Michael Bloomberg to omit religious personnel from Sundays memorial service. Edward will travel to the Bronx to meet preacher, and New York city councillor Federico Cabrera who is leading the fightback.

The Trinity Wall Street church is a couple of blocks from ground zero, and The Rev Mark Bazoody Jones will join Edward in the studio to hear his perspective on the events of 10 years ago and the memorial service this weekend.

Matt Wells reports on how the Greek Orthodox community have been blocked in their attempt to rebuild their church which was destroyed on 9/11 despite a ten year campaign 

American campaigner Zeba Iqbal and MSP Humza Yousef join Edward live to discuss how the attacks affected the Islamic communities in the USA and here in the UK. Who are the 9/11 generation and how did life change for them 10 years ago ?
