Religion in China
With the Olympics under way this week, the world is watching China as never before. What do we know about faith in that vast country?
On All Things Considered (Sunday 3 August, 8.30am, repeated on Wednesday 6 August, 6.30pm), Roy Jenkins and a panel of guests explore where religion fits in a land which has been communist for sixty years.
There are many stories of repression and persecution, but also of packed churches and vibrant worship and a range of religious traditions little known in the west.
So what is really happening? To what extent are attitudes to faith changing as China develops its potential as a vast economic power? And what have believers here to learn?
