King and Pope to make history; Canterbury Cathedral graffiti row; Diwali on Roblox
A look at the ethical and religious issues of the week with Julie Etchingham.
This week, King Charles will pray alongside Pope Leo in the Sistine Chapel: the first time a British Monarch and a Pontiff have done so since the Reformation. It's part of a state visit by the King and Queen, and is seen as an important symbol of strengthened ties between the two churches.
A new graffiti art installation inside Canterbury Cathedral has provoked a scathing backlash from critics from around the world, describing it as “sacrilegious”, “a desecration”, and part of the “suicide” of the Church of England. What are the theological questions it raises?
As Diwali is about to get underway, the ѿý has created an online space for children on the gaming platform Roblox, which explores the multifaith festival in a fun and interactive way, and which features the Asian Network presenter Nikita Kanda as a character.
