A look at the Church in the changing countryside.
Introduced by Ted Moult.
From the North
'Down on the farm' in Lincolnshire automation is very much a reality. A technical revolution is taking place. In some of the corn-growing areas whole communities arc disappearing and the population is melting away. Tonight's Meeting Point looks at the problems which the Church has to face in this changing-and challenging-situation. After varying points of view from the farming area itself have been heard, a practical farmer and well-known television personality Ted Moult will discuss the problems with the Bishop of Grimsby.
To be repeated tonight at 10.40
