Donald Reeves asks: 'If there are no adequate intellectual explanations of how an apparently good God permits evil, then what can be said and what can be done?' Part of the answer, he argues, is to listen to the survivors of evil, and for everyone to acknowledge their own potential for evil.

The first of six programmes. Clean round the Bend presented by Chris Baines.
'Clean round the bend? - We must be', says Chris Baines.
By keeping ourselves and our homes clean we pour thousands of gallons of chemicals down the drain every day - and it doesn't have a very pleasant effect on the environment.
Part 1 of today's The Big E asks: 'Is there anything we can do about it?' Part 2 at
11.25pm points towards some of the answers.

Twenty-two years ago this week, Israel defeated her Arab neighbours in the Six-Day-War and took control of the Gaza strip: 140 square miles of land, with a Palestinian population which is now 650,000. This was the beginning of Israeli occupation.
Eighteen months ago this week, violence broke out on the streets of Gaza: the Intifada, or Palestinian uprising, was born.
Everyman tells the story of the people who live and work under occupation:
Palestinians and Israelis - the occupied and the occupiers. At the heart of this film is a committed Christian, Dr Swee Chai Ang, who, after six years of work in Lebanon, has come to work in Gaza's Ahli Arab hospital.
