Christianity and the World Order
3: A New Commandment: Human Rights
The Rev Dr Edward Norman. Dean of Peterhouse, Cambridge, argues that the consensus within the western churches that identifies Christianity and Human Rights runs into difficulty when it is applied to religious liberty in the Soviet Union, because the practice of adding religious authority to moral and political campaigns for Human Rights is both divisive and partial. In reality, Human Rights issues become the means by which Christians express their endorsement of the political values of their own societies.

Manifest Destiny Presented by John Eidinow
In spite of the recent well publicised diplomatic ' spectaculars ', the Carter administration's foreign policy remains something of an enigma.

Sir John Gielgud, in the fourth of 11 programmes, talks to John Miller.
'Following The Three Sisters run, Komisarjevsky asked me to play in a play called Katerina, which was by Leonid Andreyev, a very lurid melodrama. It was a very interesting and extraordinary part, but I was very intense in it, and Agate said, "Mr Gielgud is becoming one of our more promising young actors, but he shouldn't come up the stairs into the studio like one rising from the grave"; which I'm sure was an excellent criticism. But I remember Mrs Patrick Campbell came to see it and said, "Oh you're very good, you ought always to wear a goatee".'
