South Korean Church Gives Sanctuary

Focus on Faith

Available for over a year

Disturbances in Seoul as riot police fight strikers over new South Korea labour laws. A focus for the civil disobedience has been the city's cathedral, where several union leaders sought sanctuary on Roman Catholic property. Also on the programme, why sympathy not congratulations will be in order for Mother Theresa's successor, unease at Islamic revivalism in Albania and what would happen if the head of the Church of England became a Hindu, on stage at least.
