BBC Radio Norfolk - Sunday Breakfast, Durga Puja is celebrated in Norfolk this weekend

Anthony Isaacs finds out about Durga Puja being celebrated by Hindus in Norfolk

There's hymns and worship music celebrating All Saints Day, Canon Andrew White, the 'Vicar Of Baghadad' talks about his new book and local celebrations of Durja Puja.

In the first hour there's hymns and worship music celebrating All Saints Day and you'll hear from the Choir of King's School, the St. Michael's Singers and Moira Kerr.  There's also a hymn of the week with the story behind its composition - and we have jazz legend Louis Armstrong to thank for bringing it on to the world stage!  You'll also hear from a senior Vatican priest stripped of his post after admitting of being in a relationship with another man.  And we meet Clare and Andy who give us a rare glimpse into Narcotics Anonymous which puts spirituality at the heart of recovery.  There's also a look at what's on the front pages and inside this morning's papers and a few ideas about what you might get up to in Norfolk with the What's On Guide.

In the second hour, Anthony talks to Canon Andrew White, the 'Vicar Of Baghadad' who talks about whether there could ever be peace in the Middle East.  Also, we continue our series surrounding three Muslim girls who talk about growing up in multi-cultural Britain.

In the final hour, celebrations take place in Norfolk this weekend as Durja Puja is remembered by the Hindu faith.  Anthony also hears about renewed calls to educate pupils and teachers about the facts of the Holocaust as he talks to Gillian Walnes from the Anne Frank Trust and, as it's the start of November, there's another story from our resident creative writer, Jane Clamp.
