A discussion to complement the sixth play in the sequence Whose Is the Kingdom?
More than 1,650 years ago
Arius, a parish priest from the suburbs of Alexandria, fell out with his bishop. He had taught that Jesus was not fully God. This had brought him many adherents and more enemies, and in AD 325 he was condemned as a heretic by the Council of Nicea.
But has his heresy survived by stealth? In a round-table discussion, Mary Goldring asks Bishop David Jenkins , Professor Tom Torrance ,
Dr Frances Young and Fr John McDade whether questions about the nature of Christ can ever be finally answered, whether heresy is now an essential part of the Christian vocation and whether Arius the heretic now occupies the orthodox highground. Producer FRANCES GUMLEY
