BBC Radio Ulster - Sunday Sequence, Faith and Politics; David and Goliath; Digital vs. Human

Audrey Carville and guests debate the role of faith in elections, and digital advances.

Audrey Carville and guests debate the role faith has played in recent elections, the rise of digital technology and the moral dilemmas it poses, and the return of keening in grief.

Audrey Carville and guests consider the role faith has played in the recent elections. Following on from a week of election,s she discusses the impact a faith based vote may have made in the Northern Ireland Assembly, and should the new, and returning, MLAs use their religious beliefs to inform their public work.
