Christians think about their faith and its living expression
The Word and the Vision: Forty Years of Religious Broadcasting
In the Christmas week of 1922 the BBC broadcast a fifteen-minute religious programme. Many people were horrified that religion should be 'cheapened' by being put on the air. But so began the work of a department of the Corporation whose programmes in sound and vision now occupy more than ten hours weekly.
The programme includes excerpts from old recordings and contributions from past and present Heads of Religious Broadcasting, and attempts a critical survey of the value of religious broadcasting to the Church and the listener.
