Changing Faith? The First World War in Wales

BBC Radio Wales - All Things Considered, Changing Faith? The First World War in Wales

Roy assesses the impact of the "War to end all wars" on faith in Wales.

Roy assesses the impact of the 'War to end all wars' on faith in Wales.

As the “war to end all wars” drew to a close in 1918, international boundaries had been redrawn, society had changed irrevocably, and communities across the world were experiencing loss on an unprecedented scale. In a Wales recently swept by religious revival, many people were sustained by their faith – but it was frequently challenged, too. A century later, on All Things Considered, Roy Jenkins and guests assess the impact of this epoch-changing conflict on faith in Wales and further afield.
 
Joining Roy are: Dr Philip Jenkins, Distinguished Professor of History at Baylor University in Texas, who grew up in Port Talbot: one of his many books is ‘The Great and Holy War: How World War 1 changed religion for ever’; Dr Robin Barlow, author of ‘Wales and World War One’; Dr Robert Pope, Director of Studies in Church History and Doctrine at Westminster College Cambridge; and Dr Elin Jones, who was until recently responsible for the history curriculum in schools in Wales.
