Welfare, Transgender and a Quaker's Utopia

Quakers and their socialist utopia - how the founders of the world's leading chocolate companies were ahead of their time. A welfare state for 2025 - what would it look like?

Quakers and their socialist utopia - how the founders of the world's leading chocolate companies were ahead of their time. They would not have been too bothered about the Easter egg row - Quakers celebrate the birth and resurrection of Jesus all year and not at specific times.

A welfare state for 2025 - what would it look like, who would gain and who would lose? Would entitlements be linked to personal advancements in education? Would a health budget swing towards promotion rather than treatment. These are just some of the questions Audrey Carville will be asking the guests economist John Simpson, Ardoyne school vice principal Chris Donnelly and lecturer in social policy Goretti Horgan.

Is belief in the Resurrection a core tenet of the Christian faith? Could anyone conceivably call themselves Christian while not subscribing to that belief? Yet a survey carried out by 大象传媒 Local Radio in Great Britain suggests perhaps a quarter of Christians are at best sceptical. Sunday Sequence explores this seemingly contradictory position now with Sarah Williamson.

Long road to freedom - 90-year-old World War II veteran Patricia Davies, who was born as Peter, tells the story of her gender change.
