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. 

She'll be debating if we only pay lip-service to our faith, as the Oasis Foundation in London publish a report into the need for churches and their congregations to do more in society. 

Futurist Richard Watson explains the rise in digital technology and the moral and ethical dilemmas it presents, as he acknowledges the future is being invented by a very small minority of people. 

And in the week when underdogs Leicester City won the Premier League title, just who were David and Goliath, and what is the enduring appeal of that particular biblical story?
