Wayside Pulpits, Leicester Inquiry, Women in Qatar

BBC Radio 4 - Sunday, Wayside Pulpits, Leicester Inquiry, Women in Qatar

A look at the ethical and religious issues of the week with William Crawley.

Back in September violence spread between Hindu and Muslim groups on the streets of Leicester. An inquiry was swiftly set up to look into the unrest, but the academic chosen to lead the review has had to step down just days after being appointed. William Crawley and guests examine the issues.  

With a week to go until the World Cup kicks off in Qatar, what is life like for women there? BBC presenter Salma El Wardany has been finding out for a World Service documentary, along with Yousra Samir who spent her adolescent years in the Gulf state.

Is there a church sign that's caught your eye, with a quotation that made you think, a joke that made you smile, or a pun that made you grimace? We explore the phenomenon of the wayside pulpit. Email us:  Sunday@bbc.co.uk or tweet us @R4Sunday if you’ve seen some particularly good ones!  

Producers: Dan Tierney and Jonathan Hallewell
Editor: Helen Grady.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
