... of Jesus. How much is really known about Jesus the man?
Donald Reeves , Rector of St James 's, Piccadilly, believes that just as the Gospel writers created images of Jesus which were influenced by their own background, so it is important that people today relate to relevant and meaningful images of Christ: 'Some black Christian communities do not like having to worship a white
Messiah. For them it's a sort of racism. '

A year ago the Government issued the Pearce Report which caught the headlines with its 'polluter pays' principle. The idea was to put a price.on the environment and charge manufacturers and consumers for using it. Now politicians and think-tanks on both the left and the right are proposing the use of 'green taxes' to put the principle into practice. In a special report, Rupert Segar looks at the options with the help of a board game called Dirty Dealing - a game all polluters can play. From cleaning up rivers to reducing the emission of greenhouse gases, 'green taxes' could have a role to play. But with higher prices likely, how much would we be prepared to pay? Plus the weather for the countryside at
12.55pm with Bill Giles.
