4 'He Who Has Ears to Hear, Let Him Hear
‘He Who Has Ears to Hear, Let Him Hear’: Christian Pedagogy and Religious Broadcasting During the Inter-War Period Michael Bailey Leeds Metropolitan University Keywords : Broadcasting, BBC religion, Christian Morality, Civilising Mission, Nation and Culture, Secularisation, Sabbatarianism, Ecumenicalism, Popular Religion and Entertainment. Abstract What I mean to demonstrate in this essay is the way in which early public service broadcasting developed as an extension of Christian pastoral guidance. Understood thus, early broadcasting can be seen to function as a socio-religious technology whose rationale was to give direction to practical conduct and attempt to hold individuals to it. The significance of this is that Christian utterance was a broadcasting activity to which the BBC, and its first Director-General particularly, John Reith, ascribed special importance. The BBC was determined to provide what it thought was for the moral good of the greater majority. In spite of overwhelming criticism from the listening public and secular public opinion, the BBC was unswerving in its commitment to the centrality of Christianity in the national culture. By the end of the 1930s the ‘Reithian Sunday’ was among the most enduring and controversial of the BBCs inter-war practices. Introduction In the entrance of Broadcasting House is a statue by the well-known sculptor, Eric Gill, depicting The Sower casting his seed abroad. Though the act of sowing is nowadays commonly associated with primitive farming methods, the iconography of the sower was in fact used to illustrate a well-known parable from the New Testament (Matthew 13; Mark 4; Luke 8). For just as Jesus told his disciples that the farmer goes out to sow his seed in order to yield a crop, so too do the agencies of religion sow the word of God in order that, ‘He who has ears to hear, let him hear’.

Theos Annuallecture09lordsac
Annual Lecture 2009 Religion in Twenty-first Century Britain Lord Sacks of Aldgate what Theos is Theos is a public theology think tank which exists to undertake research and provide commentary on social and political arrangements. We aim to impact opinion around issues of faith and belief in society. We were launched in November 2006 with the support of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, and the Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster, Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor. Our first report "Doing God": A Future for Faith in the Public Square examined the reasons why faith will play an increasingly significant role in public life. what Theos stands for Society is embarking on a process of de-secularisation. Interest in spirituality is increasing across Western culture. Faith is on the agenda of both government and the media. In the arts, humanities and social sciences there are important intellectual developments currently taking place around questions of values and identity. Theos speaks into this new context. Our perspective is that faith is not just important for human flourishing and the renewal of society, but that society can only truly flourish if faith is given the space to do so. We reject notions of a sacred-secular divide. what Theos works on Theos undertakes research across a wide range of subject areas. We analyse social and political change and offer interesting new angles and alternative perspectives on the issues that matter. what Theos provides Theos provides: • a research and publishing programme, • conferences, seminars and lectures, • outreach to university, college and school students, • news, information and analysis to media companies and other opinion formers, with a one-stop information line available to journalists, • regular email bulletins, • other related activities.

Extended CV – Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks
Extended CV – Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks March 8, 1948: Jonathan Sacks born in London, the eldest of four children of Louis (d.1996), a businessman who sold cloth in a small shop in London’s East End, and Louisa “Libby” Frumkin (d. 2010), who worked in her family’s wine business. Both parents are active as volunteers in their synagogue. A family of modest means, his parents instill in him enormous devotion to education, Judaism and wider society, a blend of secularism and religion that would become the template of his lifelong pursuits. 1952-1959: Attends Saint Mary’s Primary School in the Finchley area of North London, near the family’s home. 1959-1966: Attends Christ’s College School, Finchley. Although a Christian institution, about half of the students are Jewish yet none of the school’s teachers are, so he helps organize and lead morning assemblies for the Jewish students. Beginning at age 15 he increasingly embraces this role, later crediting it as instrumental in preparing for a life of outreach. The teachers’ respect for and encouragement of his faith also prove influential in his understanding that difference does not have to mean division. 1966: Enters Gonville & Caius College, one of the oldest colleges at the University of Cambridge, and studies for a philosophy degree focused on Moral Science, a discipline that applies scientific methodology to the understanding of morality. 1968: While a student at Cambridge, a two-month visit to the United States leads to what will be life-changing encounters with Rabbi Joseph Soloveitchik, dean of the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary at Yeshiva University in New York, and the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, who urges him to seek rabbinic ordination.

Thought for the Day. an Argument for the Inclusion of Non-Religious
Thought for the Day . An argument for the inclusion of non-religious contributors and ‘humanist thoughts’. British Humanist Association, July 2009. Legal and policy context For the last six years the Communications Act 2003 has been in force which, at section 264(6)(f) defines public service broadcasting as requiring ‘a suitable quantity and range of programmes dealing with each of the following, science, religion and other beliefs...’ and at section 264(13) defines ‘belief’ as ‘a collective belief in…a systemised set of ethical or philosophical principles...’ During the passage of the Act, the responsible minister (Lord McIntosh) made it clear that this included Humanism. The BBC is also mandated by its Agreement with the Secretary of State to reflect ‘religion and other beliefs’, which includes Humanism. Further, the Human Rights Act 1998 and national and European equality and anti-discrimination law give religious and non-religious beliefs, such as Humanism, equivalent status in law. That Thought for the Day is, at present, reserved solely for religion clearly goes against both the spirit of the BBC Charter and also contemporary legislation. A balance One of the key rules governing Thought for the Day is that contributors are not allowed to attack other religions. They do, however, not infrequently attack non-religious beliefs. If humanists were allowed to broadcast, we should not be interested in attacking anyone but in putting forward humanist thinking. Further, allowing only religious speakers to contribute, with unquestioned statements and positions, some of which stray very closely to the line of political opinions, surely contravenes the BBC’s guidelines for impartiality.

The answer to this is clear; with the use of a reducing the stage space. The set itself was composed of a mix fantastic cast and an inspiring director, this classic comedy of musty 1950s furniture, accompanied with stylised angular brings vibrancy to the stage and allows the audience to revel door frames and different stage levels to define different rooms. in the ingenious plot, originally written by William Rose. This set worked very well in producing a rather claustrophobic space that would later trap Professor Marcus and his gang. Daniel Sidhom’s development of Mrs Wilberforce was brilliant as he formed a very vivid image of a sweet old widower. His use of a high-pitched voice and overdramatic tendencies added to the innocent adaptation of this character. Additionally, Gabe Rogers did not fail to breathe life into the role Professor Marcus, as his characterisation was totally engaging.
