from the beeb's website:
John Humphrys as you've never heard him before - talking with religious leaders about his unfulfilled desire to believe in God.
How is faith possible in a world of suffering, much of it arguably caused by religion or religious extremism and to which God seems to turn a blind eye? Is there a place for religion in an age dominated by science?
the first in the series of 3 was john h speaking with the archbishop of canterbury, dr rowan williams. i thought the interview started off well, with the arch looking like he was going to get some of that lovely, 'under-your-skin' questioning of john going; trying to get john to articulate what was going on for him about his search for god. but then it seemed to get fuzzy, and i felt like the arch didn't do as well as he could have. who knows, he may have had a bad day....
you can listen to the half-hour interview again, here.
