A two-part investigation into Christianity in Britain today by Peter France

'For when the One Great Scorer comes
To write against your name,
He marks - not that you won or lost -
But how you played the game.'

Is Christianity in Britain today more a matter of behaviour than belief? As Bishops argue whether the Creed is literally 'true' Peter France looks at the strength, beauty - and oddities - of the Christian tradition and asks distinguished Church leaders 'What do I have to believe to come in?'.

What is it really like to be on the receiving end of YTS?

(First shown on BBC2)
