William Crawley with the religious and ethical news of the week. Moral arguments and perspectives on stories, familiar and unfamiliar. The Catholic Bishops Conference has launched a campaign to support victims of domestic abuse. We will be asking whether priests and congregations are equipped to deal with the issues. Our reporter Kevin Bocquet has a special report on research from Faith Matters which shows that the English Defence League is targeting faith groups for new members ....and we will be looking at how the Anglican church in Bradford is being reorganised. The Muslim mourning festival takes place over the weekend...we will be finding out why it is so significant and why it has led to violent clashes in some places in recent years. There' s long been mystery surrounding the exact location of where William Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway were married. At least four churches have laid claim to the honour, but now a grant has been awarded to one of them to display all the evidence. We will be finding out why there's been shock in Glastonbury over the vandalism of a special tree....and we will be inviting listeners to pen a limerick for 2011 with the help of the Bard of Barnsley Ian McMillan.
