BBC Radio 4 - Beyond Belief, Changing Faiths

What's it like changing from one faith to another? Ernie Rea talks to three converts.

How do you convert from one religion to another? Ernie Rea meets those who've had a change of faith.

Freedom of religion and belief is a protected human right and that includes the freedom to leave a religion.

But what happens when someone converts from one religion to another? Pressures from family or faith communities can have a huge impact on new converts, making their choice all the more difficult and, in some cases, dangerous.

Ernie Rea is joined by a panel of three converts who’ve made that life changing decision. They share why they made that choice and the impact it had on their lives and relationships. AbdulMaalik Tailor converted to Islam from Hinduism, Dr Adeola Obadina converted to Christianity from Islam and Akhandadhi Das had a Christian upbringing but is now a Vaishnava Hindu theologian.

Producer: Katharine Longworth
Assistant Producers: Peter Everett and Josie Le Vay
