Has the BBC given up on religion?

No they haven't.

You need to listen to Radio 4, plenty of religion this morning, including the 40 minute Sunday Worship from Cardiff - lots of hymns and music.

Thought for the Day every weekday morning R4 - some of us think that non religious thoughts should be allowed in this slot

There’s also something called a church

And Prayer for the Day, every day on Radio 4.

Thankyou I will tune into radio 4 next week

Probably.
As a reflection of our more secular society.

You don't have to stick with the BBC. There are lots of Christian radio shows to listen to: onlineradiobox.com/uk/genre/christian
Although most seem to be internet-only, www.premierchristianradio.com is on medium wave and Freewiew.

If you have a religious belief and like a good hymn/religious piece of music, why not go to church? After all, congregations seems to be diminishing year on year and churches closing.

Alternatively, join a choir - their repertoires often include religious music and carols.

I think Thought for the Day is fine except for the fact that it seems to suggest that only religious people are qualified to share their thoughts and beliefs on ethical issues.

I dare say not everyone is mobile enough to attend church Eloethan hence the radio or tv being a comfort for some.

Oh is that where Songs of Praise has gone?!!! I've been wondering what's happened to it. Loved settling down to listen to that. God's definitely got the best tunes. And the onscreen words mean you can singalong. Can't do that at lunchtime!

And am I right in thinking that the late night repeat of Something Understood has vanished? I know the lovely Mark Tully is not doing it anymore, but I still liked to listen to it whilst drifting off on a Sunday night. Sigh.

Everything good and decent is getting sidelined.

Yes ‘Something Understood ‘ has gone , I miss it, listened to it for 25 years

Why not go to Church Eleothan ? Perhaps there are people physically unable to go to Church

I feel sure that other churchgoers would be more than willing to offer a lift to someone with mobility problems. I accept that it would be an issue for someone who was bedridden or seriously ill.

I am not a Christian, but am aware that in every village and suburb I’ve ever lived in, the local churches, chapels etc always have some sort of arrangement that ensures those who can’t get there for whatever reason are offered transport etc, and where that is impossible the local vicar pays a visit.
You need never be without spiritual support.

If that rocks your boat of course

I noticed that on Radio 4 on Easter morning the programme presenter at 7am didn't even say Happy Easter!!

'Something understood' hasn't gone - it was on yesterday and still available on the BBC website.

Not on radio4 ,

Yes, it was Annie I listened to it at 06.05!

And as I said it's still on the website if you missed the broadcast.

Sorry, I always listened to it in bed at night.

I live in a house owned by a prominent religious group whose church is about a mile away.
For the past 6 years, since I had to give up my car, I have asked if someone can take me. Neighbours on both sides go to this church, are in fact prominent members but too prominent to take me it seems.

When another group, Baptists this time, came evangelising and (to my surprise) one of them was my ex-doctor, I told him I'd love to go to church occasionally. Did anyone come? Nope.

There was nothing on the BBC at Easter either, not even Good Friday. Shocking that most people these days don't believe in God. It must be awful to have no faith. Sad times.
